Fabulous recipe. There might be quite a few ingredients & steps to this recipe but it is soooo worth it, especially if you are serving this to company. You can make the rolls ahead of time, prep the sauce & bake it when you are ready. If you are letting rolls sit longer than 30 mins I would wait to stuff chicken until stuffing is very cool. I needed to use up some kale so I sub'd some for the spinach. I seasoned the flour with essence spice. Due to the salty prosciutto I didn't add the salt into the filling. We don't like lots of sauce so we cut it in 1/2 but it was just enough for the chicken, if you are serving with mashed potatoe or rice you'll probably want sauce as written. Lot of ohhhs & awhhhs from this recipe, thanks for sharing.
