these were great, sorry i didn't review earlier! i made these last year for dd's birthday party. they were a hit. i served with a honey mustard dipping sauce. they were a little difficult to bread, so i went ahead and stuck toothpicks through the rolled up product before breading. then it seemed to go much smoother. i made these up ahead of time and froze, then just baked for a few minutes longer than recommended. i also drizzled with melted butter before baking. oh and i used panko breadcrumbs and i took already grilled chicken breasts from the safeway deli to save on time! thanks for posting.
