Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 slices bacon
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded out
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup German mustard
1/2 cup chopped pickles or cornichons
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus additional for the sauce
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Splash white wine
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the bacon in a single layer on a slotted pan set over a baking sheet and cook three-quarters of the way through. Remove and set aside. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop the bacon.

German Chicken, Ham, and Cheese Roulades image

A substantial and altogether winning appetizer. Flattened chicken breasts with thin slices of Westphalian or Black Forest ham, garlic and herbs rolled up and cooked in chicken stock and white wine. Chilled and sliced crosswise into rounds.

Provided by Olha7397

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 20 rounds

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved (about 1 pound each)
4 slices Westphalian ham (thin slices) or 4 slices black forest ham (thin slices)
4 slices gruyere (thin slices) or 4 slices emmenthaler cheese (thin slices)
1 medium garlic clove, very finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon marjoram or 1/4 teaspoon sage
fresh ground white pepper
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup chicken broth
watercress or parsley sprig

Steps:

  • Place each chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and pound it lightly with the flat side of a cleaver or a wooden mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Trim the slices of ham and cheese so that they are the same size as the flattened pieces of chicken. Place a slice of ham on each piece of chicken and cover the ham with a slice of cheese. Season with the finely chopped garlic, thyme, marjoram, or sage and white pepper. Roll up the pieces tightly and fasten with wooden picks, or tie securely with string.
  • Arrange the roulades in a greased baking sheet just large enough to hold them comfortably in one layer and pour the wine and broth over them. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 35 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • Transfer the roulades to a platter and cool to room temperature, then cover and chill. Remove the wooden picks or string. Slice the roulades crosswise into rounds and arrange on a chilled serving platter. Garnish with watercress or parsley sprigs and serve. Makes about 20.
  • VARIATION: In a medium sized, heavy skillet melt 2 Tablespoons Clarified Butter, or heat a mixture of 1 tablespoon each butter and flavorless vegetable oil or olive oil over moderate. Add the roulades and sauté, turning to brown lightly on all sides. Add the wine and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer about 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Cool, chill, slice, and serve as directed above.

ROASTED CHICKEN ROULADE WITH AMERICAN TRIPLE CREAM AND GEORGIA HAM



Roasted Chicken Roulade with American Triple Cream and Georgia Ham image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup clover honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
2 heaping tablespoons drained prepared horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil, plus more for drizzling
1 clove garlic, chopped into a paste
Pinch of red chile flakes
4 ounces baby arugula
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 paper-thin slices country ham or prosciutto
8 ounces triple-cream cheese, such as Red Hawk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Micro arugula, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the mustard sauce: Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and horseradish in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit to allow the flavors to meld while you make the chicken.
  • For the chicken roulade: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil over low heat in a large saute pan. Add the garlic and red chile flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Increase the heat, stir in the baby arugula, season with salt and pepper and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Drizzle the chicken breasts with a little oil and thinly pound between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Put the breasts on a flat surface skin-side down, and sprinkle the top sides with salt and pepper. Place 2 slices of the ham on each breast; spread 2 ounces of the cheese over the ham and then top with one-quarter of the arugula in the center. Roll the breasts tightly and tie with butcher's twine. Sprinkle the roulade with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cook until it begins to shimmer. Put the rolls in the pan seam-side up and add the butter. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and continue cooking until the breasts are just cooked through and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the rolls to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the mustard sauce and topped with a bit of micro arugula.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before rolling them up.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts.
  • For a more flavorful roulade, marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before cooking.
  • To prevent the roulades from drying out during cooking, wrap them in bacon or prosciutto before baking.
  • Serve the roulades with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

German Chicken, Ham, and Cheese Roulades are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. They are also surprisingly easy to make, and can be prepared ahead of time. Whether you are serving them to guests or enjoying them yourself, these roulades are sure to impress.
