I'm not a big fan of chicken rolls, but these look really good. I might have to give them a try.

I'm allergic to chicken, so I made these bird rolls with turkey instead. They were still delicious!

The recipe was easy to follow, but the bird rolls didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit bland.
