Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Season the potatoes:
    • In a large bowl, toss the 400 g of potato wedges with 3 g of salt, 3 g of black pepper, 4 g of sweet paprika, 4 g of oregano, and 30 ml of vegetable oil.
  2. Bake the potatoes:
    • Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Rolls

  1. Season the chicken:
    • Place the thinly sliced 1.5 kg of chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with 3 g of salt, 3 g of black pepper, 3 g of garlic powder, and 3 g of oregano.
  2. Prepare the filling:
    • In a small bowl, mix 150 g of grated cheese, 20 g of chopped parsley, 10 g of minced garlic, and 20 g of mustard.
  3. Assemble the rolls:
    • Place a portion of the filling on each chicken slice, then roll it up tightly. Secure the rolls with toothpicks if necessary.
  4. Cook the chicken rolls:
    • Heat 100 ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken rolls on all sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  5. Bake the rolls:
    • Once browned, transfer the rolls to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.

Step 3: Prepare the Salad

  1. Combine the salad ingredients:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine 3 chopped tomatoes, 1 finely sliced red onion, 15 g of chopped parsley, and 15 g of finely chopped red chili pepper.
  2. Dress the salad:
    • Drizzle the salad with 5 ml of apple vinegar, 15 ml of olive oil, 2 g of salt, and 2 g of black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Plate the dish:
    • Serve the chicken rolls hot, alongside the crispy baked potatoes and the fresh salad.
  2. Garnish and enjoy:
    • Garnish with extra parsley if desired, and enjoy this delicious, well-rounded meal that’s perfect for any occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used. They may take a little longer to cook through, so adjust the baking time accordingly.

2. How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover chicken rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

3. Can I freeze the chicken rolls?

Yes, the chicken rolls can be frozen before or after cooking. If freezing before cooking, thaw in the refrigerator before searing and baking.

4. What can I serve with this dish?

This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables, garlic bread, or a simple green salad.

5. Can I use pre-shredded cheese?

Yes, pre-shredded cheese can be used, but freshly grated cheese tends to melt better and provide a creamier texture.
