Easy Chicken Rumaki

My first apartment in Manhattan was across the street from a restaurant that sold mostly greasy fast food. Their one exception was this incredible chicken rumaki that begged to be recreated at home. I made it a few times when I lived in the city but then completely forgot about it until I had a package of beef fry in my freezer. I was trying to come up with an appetizer recipe that was easy to make ahead and this one popped into my head. It’s simpler than it looks and so flavorful. Prepare a huge batch because I can assure you it will be polished off.
