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!

Mediterranean Style Bean Wrap

You need:
1 whole wheat tortilla
1 tbsp hummus (I used roasted garlic)
1/4 cup refried beans (I used Taco Bell’s)
1/4 cup black beans
1 tbsp fresh salsa

Handful of pita chips on side served with 2 tbsp Seven Layer Dip or salsa of your choice

1. Wrap the tortilla in a paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds. Alternately you can also warm up the tortilla on a griddle.

2. Warm up the beans. You can even use just refried beans or black beans. I just like to blend different textures and flavors.

3. Spread the hummus on the tortilla. Spread a layer of beans and top it with salsa. Wrap it or make a burrito.

4. Serve it with pita chips and salsa on side. I had some seven layer dip so I added a couple of tbsps of that as well.
