Fillings for chicken ballotine.

Recliner

I'd usually stuff with mushrooms but I have someone hopefully coming for dinner when restrictions allow. They won't entertain the idea of a mushroom.
So I've changed my usual mushroom cream sauce for a chicken sauce with a little bit of cream and tarragon, but I could do with some ideas on a stuffing. I know I could just leave it plain but I think it looks nicer when it's sliced on the plate to have it filled.

Thoughts please.

What about a black pudding stuffing? See the black pudding thread for recommendations on the nicest one to use!

Cream cheese and spinach is one.

Plain old ham and cheddar is another.

Unfortunately, I can't entertain black pudding.

I think the cream cheese and spinach could be a runner. She's not the most adventurous of eaters but I know she would eat pasta with that filling.
