Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

  • In a large hot nonstick skillet, saute mushrooms till brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add garlic, shallots, and rosemary. Cook for 2 more minutes.

  • When cool, dice tomatoes. In a large bowl, mix tomatoes with mushrooms/spinach mixture, egg whites, breadcrumbs, basil, and parsley.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a large cutting board, pound the chicken breasts to thin them out.
  • Spread tomato/mushroom/spinach mixture on top of each breast and roll.
  • Season rolls with paprika. Place rolls in a nonstick baking sheet and bake in 350-degree oven till chicken is cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Let sit for 2 minutes. Slice each roll, if desired, or serve whole.
