Chicken Florentine Roll-Ups
Perfect for entertaining, these chicken cutlets are stuffed with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts and just enough cream cheese to hold the filling together. Make a double batch and freeze half the roll-ups (individually wrapped in plastic), then just defrost and bake as you like. Serve topped with fresh diced tomatoes or marinara sauce and a sprinkling of chopped fresh basil.

Tips
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 3 and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
Tips: Look for soft sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil) in the produce section of most supermarkets. If you can only find dry (and hard) sun-dried tomatoes, soak them in boiling water for about 20 minutes before using.
To toast whole nuts, spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes. To toast chopped, small or sliced nuts, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
If you can't find chicken cutlets for this recipe, you can start with regular boneless, skinless chicken breasts and pound them until they are thin. Start with four 10- to 12-ounce chicken breasts, remove each tender and cut each breast in half into 2 roughly equal portions for eight 4-ounce portions. Place the chicken between pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a rolling pin, meat mallet or heavy skillet until flattened to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
