Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

25g butter
25g plain flour
600ml milk
50g grated fresh parmesan
100g gruyère
6 tbsp pesto
8 pancakes (see recipe link below)
2 cooked skinless, boneless chicken breasts , shredded
285g jar artichoke hearts in oil, drained and quartered if necessary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Put the butter, flour and milk in a pan and whisk over a medium heat until the mixture boils and thickens. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the Parmesan and half the gruyère and season with salt and ground black pepper.
  • Pour one third of the sauce into a bowl and stir in the pesto. Lay out the pancakes and spoon a dollop of sauce in the centre of each one. Top with the chicken and artichokes then fold in the sides of the pancakes and roll them up.
  • Arrange the pancakes in a single layer in a buttered large shallow baking dish (about 25 x 30cm) and pour over the remaining sauce. Scatter with the rest of the gruyère. (If making ahead, cool, cover and chill for up to a day, or freeze for up to a month.)
  • Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and golden. Serve with a green salad.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh basil in the pesto. If fresh basil is unavailable, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the basil, garlic, and pine nuts by hand. However, a food processor will make the pesto smoother and creamier.
  • To make the chicken roll-ups easier to roll, pound the chicken breasts thin before slicing them.
  • If you don't have toothpicks, you can use skewers to hold the chicken roll-ups together.
  • Serve the chicken pesto roll-ups with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, pesto sauce, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Chicken pesto roll-ups are a quick and easy appetizer or main course that can be made with a few simple ingredients. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a weeknight meal. With their savory pesto filling and crispy coating, chicken pesto roll-ups are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
