Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Debone the chicken legs, remove knuckles, and flatten the meat with a rolling pin.
  • Mix breadcrumbs, mortadella, nutmeg, parsley, garlic, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper for the stuffing.
  • Place stuffing in the center of the meat, roll into a sausage shape, and secure with bacon and string.
  • Brown the chicken in oil in a heavy pan before roasting in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Sauté garlic, chilli, and spinach in oil with a splash of water until wilted.
  • Remove the string from the chicken and carve into thick slices to serve beside the spinach.
