Rolling Chicken Scallopini on Spinach Bed

Chicken is a most amazing and versatile type of poultry in the world. It is prepared as food in a wide variety of ways, varying by region and culture.
One day I was having chicken, mushroom and spinach in my kitchen. I didn't wanted to cook any of these separately. Thought of combining all this and here is the result.  This dish is a beautiful composition of Spinach, Mushroom, and Chicken. In each bite you will find a bustling flavors. This one is my special favorites for  any kind of dinner or lunch.

6) Blanch the Spinach and ground it to a paste.
7) Heat some olive oil in another pan. Add garlic and spinach paste stir it for 2-3 mins. Season with salt pepper and dried basil. Mix ricotta cheese to the paste and stir for another minute.
