Question
Back in the 1990′s I collected Easy Everyday Cooking recipe cards. There was a recipe for ‘cheesy chicken roll-ups,’ with pounded chicken breasts stuffed with spinich, and I think ricotta & mozzarella. I secured them with toothpicks and remember browning in skillet, after that my mind goes blank. There was a cheese sauce that was poured over the stuffed rolled breasts baked in the oven. I’ve been looking for this recipe for almost 5 years, since noticing that it walked off somewhere. Can you help?

What Others Have To Say
Dear Grandma Betty:
Thank you for your prompt answer to my questions regarding using baking soda and, optionally, table salt. I usually forgo using table salt in addition to sodium bicarbonate. I still taste the "saltiness" in those pastries although, your suggestion is something I will keep in mind in the future as maybe the other ingredients will or are more "noticeable" when one uses salt in addition to baking soda. Again, many thanks and happy holidays.
Sincerely,
Bill
