Stuffed Cheese Chicken Roll – VIDEO RECIPE
how to cook Stuffed Cheese Chicken Roll?
STEP 1
To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take the chicken fillet and cut it lengthwise, but not all the way through. Then, unfold it like a book and give it a light pounding with a kitchen hammer, using cling film to protect it.
TIPS: Looking to tenderize your meat but don’t have a kitchen hammer? No worries! There are plenty of alternatives that can get the job done just as effectively. You can grab a heavy and thick knife, a glass bottle, a rolling pin, or even a masher. However, if you want something easier and more convenient, a special meat softener, also known as a tenderizer, is your best bet.
TIPS: Why bother with cling film when beating meat, you ask? Well, cling film actually serves a purpose beyond just keeping your leftovers fresh. It helps prevent any unwanted kitchen contamination. But if you don’t have cling film on hand, don’t fret! A regular plastic bag can do the trick just as well.
STEP 2
Next, place the prepared fillet in a large bowl and season it with salt, black pepper, dried garlic, and a sprinkle of lemon juice. Mix everything together thoroughly and let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
TIPS: Instead of using dried garlic, you can opt for a small clove of fresh garlic as a substitute. To prepare it, finely chop or use a garlic press to extract its flavor.
TIPS: When it comes to lemon juice, you have the choice between using fresh lemons or bottled lemon juice. Both options work just fine, so go with whatever you have on hand or prefer. The tangy flavor of lemon will add a refreshing twist to your dish.
STEP 3
While the chicken is marinating, peel the onions and cut them into quarter rings.
TIPS: Ever wondered what it means to cut an onion into quarter rings? Start by cutting a whole onion in half lengthwise. Then, cut one of the halves in half lengthwise again. Finally, slice the resulting quarter of the onion across, and voila! You’ve got yourself a quarter ring.
STEP 4
Wash the mushrooms and slice them thinly.
STEP 5
Heat up a frying pan over high heat and add a little vegetable oil. Toss in the chopped onions and mushrooms, and fry them for about 5 minutes.
STEP 6
Now, add the slightly thawed spinach to the pan with the onions and mushrooms. Season everything with salt and black pepper, and give it a good mix. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until any excess moisture evaporates. Once done, let it cool down a bit.
TIPS: Not a fan of frozen spinach? No problem! Fresh spinach can be a great alternative. Just make sure to give it a good wash, dry it off, and finely chop it before using it in your recipe.
STEP 7
Transfer the filling into a medium-sized bowl and add some grated cheese. Mix everything together thoroughly.
TIPS: Pre-grated cheese is incredibly convenient for preparing a wide range of dishes.
STEP 8
Take the marinated fillet and place it on the edge of a sheet of foil. Spread the filling evenly over the entire surface of the meat.
STEP 9
Using the foil, carefully roll the chicken fillet into a roll, making sure to pinch the ends tightly.
STEP 10
Place the rolled fillet in a baking dish and then put the dish in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). Let it bake for about 30 minutes. After that, carefully open the foil and continue baking the roll for another 10 minutes.

STEP 11
Once the roll is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
STEP 12

STEP 13
Finally, cut Stuffed Cheese Chicken Roll into equal pieces and serve. Enjoy your meal!
