Hi guys
Today is a great day & I feel like just being super generous, so I thought of sharing a little something with you all too. A recipe very close to my heart.
One of my husbands all time favourite dish. He really savours this meal & like a real good boy finishes all his food, veggies included.
A quick straight forward healthy recipe, as well as a deliciously tasting & good looking dish too.
Chicken Roulade
Serves: 2/3
Ingredients:
3 chicken fillet breast portions
150gr spinach leaves
1/2 blocks feta cheese (cut in cubes)
2 slices pineapple
Handful of fresh corn
Handful ice berg lettuce
Handful shredded red cabbage
10ml lemon juice
45ml ginger, garlic & red chilli (masala)
5ml garlic salt
5ml lemon pepper
30ml olive oil
5ml dried rosemary

Pepper
Glad wrap
Method:
- Butterfly cut the chicken breast & put each breast into between 2 sheets of glad wrap. Pound the chicken until about 1 cm thick, marinate in masala, salt & lemon juice.
- De-stem the spinach & blanch for 5mins in a pot of boiling hot water.
- Chiffonade the spinach after cooked, http://www.wikihow.com/Chiffonade & in a bowl add in the corn, add spices garlic salt, lemon pepper.
- Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the 3 chicken breasts, keeping the filling away from the edges, top with feta cubes. Beginning at the narrower end of the chicken of 1 chicken breast, roll up, enclosing the filling. To secure use a toothpick to hold but remember to take them out before serving. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
- In a griddle pan on medium heat with a little olive oil grill the pineapple & set aside.
- In a high quality stainless steel pot with a lid on low-medium heat, add olive oil & place the chicken roulades in.
- Cook for a few minutes on medium & than turn the roulades over.
- Lower the heat, sprinkle dried rosemary on top of the roulades, add a little water & cover until the chicken cooks with the steam.
- For serving place ice berg lettuce, grilled pineapple, cabbage & chicken roulade sliced.
Bon Appetit!
