2. In a big pan or saucepan, heat the oil. Put in the spinach, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for one minute to make the garlic soft and the spinach wilt.
3. Put it in a bowl and let it cool down until it’s room temperature. For now, just prepare the cheese and bread and set them away. They will be used when you stuff the chicken.
4. Chicken on a Ballotine

8. Cover the chicken with the cool rice or spinach combination and stuff the legs as well.
9. On top of the spinach, put the bread cubes and cheese.
10. Put the chicken in a baking pan and roll it up. Tie it up with kitchen string.

For the sauce:

1. Remove most of the fat from the pan’s drippings and throw it away.
2. To clean out the pan, add the water and wine to the drippings. Then, heat over medium-low heat and stir the juices that have hardened to loosen and melt them.
3. Put the juices through a strainer into a pot.
4. Over high heat, add the celery, onion, and carrot and bring to a boil.
5. Turn down the heat, cover, and let it boil slowly for 5 minutes.
6. Add the soy sauce and corn starch that has been melted. Stir the mixture and bring it back to a boil while stirring it.
7. Take it off the heat.
