skinnymixer’s Spinach & Ricotta Chicken Roulade

This is a quick, healthy & delicious mid-week meal disguised as a fancy pants one. You can adapt the stuffing to suit what you have on hand, as well as dietary requirements… for example, opt for low fat ricotta if you are counting calories or opt for cream cheese for LCHF. I hope you enjoy it, Love Nik xx
