Baked chicken rolls: A mouthwatering family dinner solution

Chicken rolls are my go-to recipe for a delicious family dinner, suitable for more significant occasions. Scrumptious fillets stuffed with a filling of mushrooms, aromatic spices, and grated cheese will quickly win over the hearts of your guests.

Chicken fillets are the most commonly chosen meat. Their flavour pairs wonderfully with many additions and allows for delightful culinary experiments. One of my favourite combinations is delicious rolls spread with mustard and stuffed with an aromatic mushroom filling. When I make them for dinner, everyone eagerly waits at the table.

They are delicious, flavourful, and juicy. Chicken rolls are baked with potatoes, so you pull out an almost complete meal from the oven. Just add your favourite coleslaw or salad, and you’re done.

This recipe is a tasty alternative to classic breaded chicken cutlets. It’s delicious and interesting, yet it's really simple.

Ingredients:

Filling:                                          

• 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil,
• 1 onion,
• 300 grams mushrooms,
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika,
• 1 teaspoon dried garlic,
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin,
• 1 teaspoon salt,
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper,
• 100 grams grated mozzarella,
• 1/3 cup chopped parsley,
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs.

Rolls:              

• 3 chicken breast fillets,
• 6 teaspoons mustard,
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil,
• 1 tablespoon Provence herbs.

Potatoes:         

• 600 grams pre-cooked baby potatoes,
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil,
• 1 tablespoon Provence herbs,
• 1 teaspoon salt.

Instructions:

Step 1. Start with the filling. Slice the onion into thin wedges and fry in a pan with heated oil. Once browned, add finely chopped mushrooms and sauté. Season with sweet paprika, dried garlic, and ground cumin, along with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 2. Add grated cheese, chopped parsley, and breadcrumbs to the sautéed mushrooms and mix thoroughly.

Step 3. Cut chicken fillets crosswise into two large pieces and pound them flat. Do this through a plastic wrap to avoid tearing the meat. Spread the flattened fillets with mustard and place portions of the prepared filling. Roll up the fillets.

Step 4. Transfer the pre-cooked potatoes to a heatproof dish. Drizzle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with Provence herbs and salt. Place the prepared rolls on the potatoes, drizzle them with oil, and sprinkle with herbs. Put into an oven preheated to 175°C for about 25 minutes.

Step 5. Transfer the ready rolls onto a plate along with the baked potatoes. Enjoy!
