  Firmly squeeze spinach until well drained and almost dry. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 of the spinach and egg. (Save remaining chopped spinach for Sautéed Spinach Cream Sauce.)

  For each roll, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture onto each chicken piece, spreading evenly over chicken. Top with a slice of prosciutto. Place a stick of cheese near an edge. Fold in sides; roll up, starting from edge with cheese, into a spiral, pressing the edges to seal. Secure with wooden picks. Place rolls, seam side down, in a 13x9x2-inch (3-quart) baking dish. Drizzle with butter.

• Step 1

  Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree F. oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F). Remove toothpicks. Meanwhile, prepare Sautéed Spinach Cream Sauce.
