Combine crab meat, spinach,crumbs, cheese and red pepper to make stuffing.

Drizzle 3 tablespoons white wine over chicken to moisten.

Be sure to count how many toothpicks you put into each chicken breast so that you remove them all when it is serving time.

Sprinkle rolls with salt and pepper. Place in ungreased 2-quart (2 L) casserole dish.

Dissolve partial bouillon cube in boiling water in small cup. Pour broth into casserole dish. Add bay leaf and sprinkle parsley over rolls.

Bake, covered, in a 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes.

Remove rolls to platter.

Reserve liquid but discard bay leaf. Heat reserved liquid on stove.

Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon white wine in small cup. Slowly whisk into reserved liquid. Boil until slightly thickened. Remove wooden picks from rolls and pour sauce over to serve.
