I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Chicken Roll-Ups

This can be mild or spicy, depending on how hot you like your salsa.  It's an easy meal to make and tastes wonderful.  I love that this is baked and not fried.  I like to serve this with sour cream.

*2 tablespoons olive oil
*1 small yellow onion, chopped
*2 garlic cloves, minced

*1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked & shredded

    `before you bake them, roll them up in aluminum foil.
