I kinda did it off the top of my head based on what we did with the pork tenderloin in our class so I'll try.
2 chicken breasts
2 pounds fresh spinach (maybe a little less)
salt and pepper as needed
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
1 cup feta cheese (not sure if that's the amount I used)
Cook bacon till crisy.
Cook spinach. Just put it in a pot and cook it till it looks done. It has its own water so you don't need to add water.
Pound the chicken breasts out flat wih the flat side of a meat mallet (put plastic wrap over them when you do it). Salt and pepper the chicken to taste. Put the ingredients on top of the chicken (in the class we combined the ingredients, but I did them separate for the chicken). Roll close and secure with butcher's twine.
Sear the chicken on all four sides in the bacon oil until golden brown.
Place saute pan in a 350 degree oven till cooked. I actually put them in a separate pan cuz my cheapy pans can't go in the oven. I guessed on when they were cooked and cut into them to be sure. You can kinda smell when they are ready. I think it took like 35 minutes but not positive.
Remove from oven then slice so you can see the pretty insides
For the wine sauce (not shown), I used half a bottle of white wine (for the pork we used merlot) into the same saute pan that everything else cooked in and same amount of water. For the red wine one the directions say to add butter till dry?? For my white wine one I added a bit of flour to thicken it up.
Hope that works for ya'.

. Sounds absolutely delicious. I'll be making it soon. I don't have much free time today, so I am going to improvise those ingredients with some pasta. I'm sure it will be created as I go along and if it is success, I'll post the recipe.
