DIRECTIONS
Place 1 chicken breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat process with all chicken breasts.
For filling, in a medium skillet cook shallots or onions and garlic in the 2 teaspoons hot oil until tender. Remove from heat; stir in spinach, nuts and smoked mozzarella.
In a shallow bowl combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Fill each roll, using 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling.
