Chicken_Roulade_1

As I looked through my freezer this morning, I really did not feel like same old, same old. When I saw the chicken breasts, I came up with the most brilliant idea – A roulade! It was wonderfully quick and easy to prepare, and everyone loved it. I will have to make it again, sometime soon.

Ingredients: (per person)

  • 1 chicken breast fillet
  • 1 slice of cheese (easy slice works well)
  • 1 tablespoon chilli relish
  • 1 gherkin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying.
  • Toothpicks for securing.

Method:

  • With a mallet, flatten the chicken breast as much as possible.
  • Fry in a heated pan for no longer than 3 minutes each side.
  • Spread the chilli relish on the top.
  • Cover with a slice of cheese.
  • Place the gherkin in the middle, and roll the roulade carefully.
  • Secure with toothpicks.
  • Serve immediately with a fresh salad and a bread roll.

And please let me know how this turns out!
