HealthyFoodRecipe - I started making chicken roll-ups on those nights once I would get home from work, look within the refrigerator and find out I had chicken breasts and a bit of this and a bit of that.
Give me half a bag of spinach, 4 or 5 ounces of Swiss cheese and a couple of common pantry items — garlic, lemon, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce — and an hour, and i can deliver little stuffed chicken rolls that are pretty enough for company. Slice the rolls open and see a swirl of meat, greens and cheese. i prefer to serve them with buttery boiled new potatoes, a tossed salad and, perhaps, a glass of sauvignon blanc.
I think of this prep as roulade-light — a recipe that I don’t need to overthink. It's adaptable, too. Because you'll use what’s available, this dish kills two birds with one stone: You don’t need to attend the grocery, and you get to use small portions of ingredients which may otherwise attend waste.
Ingredients:
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
- 6 slices fully cooked ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Chopped fresh parsley, optional
Directions:
- Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; top with ham and cheese. Roll up and tuck in ends; secure with toothpicks.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cheese, sage, paprika and pepper; coat chicken on all sides.
- In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil over medium-high heat.
- Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine soup and broth; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender.
- Remove toothpicks. Garnish with parsley if desired.
- Freeze option: Cool chicken mixture. Freeze in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight.
- Heat through slowly in a covered skillet, stirring occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°.
