Chicken ¨o¨ chicken

Food entry time...

Teriyaki chicken (previously posted) is so easy to make & it's a 100% guarantee 'taste good' recipe, provided you don't burnt the chicken. As lousy as me, no failure has been encountered thus far ;). Had some left over rice so I put them into 'good use' by adding some frozen green peas (defrosted, of course), carrots, eggs & fried them with fried rice powder (slightly cheating, I know, but can't blame me for saving some efforts over weekday dinner, can you?)

In an agriculture based (or used to be) country, nothing is easier to get than potato. The smallest quantity that is being sold in supermarket is a kilo (sometimes even 2 kg minimumly). So the choice is limited to small potatoes (where they are sold in smaller quantity, 500g). Garlic bread is bought frozen. Just throw into oven & voila :)
Frozen spinach, defrosted, then pan fried until all water has evaporated, set aside. Stir fried a clove of finely chopped garlic, add in spinach, salt & pepper to taste & personally I added some chicken broth (not much so it's not so watery). Bring everything out from pan & mixed with feta cheese (how much cheese you use is a personal preference, at least to me).
Chicken breast is pounded to have equal thickness, sprinkle some salt & pepper on both side. Spread spinach + feta cheese mixture across one side of chicken breast, roll it up & secure the roll with some toothpicks / small sticks. Due to my lack of skill, I have to use 5 toothpicks to secure such small piece of chicken breast roll (so you can imagine how 'dangerous' it was for me to eat my dinner that night).
Mixed mushroom sauce is pre-made, bought it in a pack ;) A simple & nice dinner with minimum preparation (basically only the chicken) is done. Requires some effort to find all 5 toothpicks but the taste was ok, in fact, a bit more than ok. I still have some feta cheese left, perhaps I can re-do the same dinner one of these days.
