  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your roll the best flavor. If you can, use organic spinach and chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can quickly become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it is just done, or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this roll, so make sure to use a good quality variety. Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar are all good choices.
