Tip #2 Get pan hot before adding meat for a good sear.

Next place about 2 tablespoons of butter into skillet and heat on stove top. Preheat oven to 375F. While butter is melting begin to prepare chicken. Lay 2 pieces of bacon down and a chicken breast on top of that. Next add on a generous amount of spinach, a few pieces of cheese, and begin to roll.

Getting Nice Sear

Tip #3 Never let butter burn or it creates a bitter taste.

Once butter is melted and pan is hot, carefully lay each piece of chicken into pan. Once that side has browned rotate about 90 degrees until you have come to a complete circle.
