I found this in the "Healthy Bites" publication at my local Weis grocery store and I am posting for safe keeping. It was in the "Cancer Control" section of the magazine.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed these roll ups. The chicken and feta cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the spinach.

These roll ups were a waste of time and money. They were bland and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong with these roll ups. I followed the recipe carefully but they just didn't taste good. The chicken was tough and the filling was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly but the roll ups didn't turn out well. The chicken was dry and the spinach was mushy.

These roll ups were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more seasoning to the chicken.

I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken and spinach filling was flavorful and the feta cheese added a nice tang. I will definitely be making these again.

These were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a few changes to the recipe, but they still turned out great. I used a whole wheat tortilla and added some sun-dried tomatoes to the filling. The rolls were delicious and healthy!

These roll ups were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. The rolls were moist and flavorful, and the spinach and feta filling was delicious.

These were delicious! I made them for dinner last night and my husband and I both loved them. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the spinach and feta filling was flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be making these again.
