Best 3 Rolled Chicken Washington Recipes

ROLLED CHICKEN WASHINGTON

Steps:

• In pan on medium heat cook mushrooms in butter for five minutes or until soft.
• Blend in flour, stir in cream, add seasonings, cook and stir until thick.
• Stir in cheese until it melts, turn out into a loaf pan and leave to cool for an hour.
• Pound chicken with a mallet to 1/4 inch thick, sprinkle with a little salt.
• Cut cheese mixture into fingers - don't cut filling too wide, place on breasts leaving about a 3/4 inch on each side.
• Now comes that part that may have you a little intimidated - but after that first one you're on your way - on occasion I have been known to use a tooth pick for the ones that are a bit defiant - they do roll and are so worth the effort.
• Add filling length wise, tuck in side pieces and roll up.
• Dust with flour, dip very generously into egg and then into the breadcrumbs, this seals in the filling.
• Chill one hour.
• Fry in deep oil for five minutes or until nicely browned, be sure your oil is not too hot to avoid over browning - drain on paper towel.
• Place in shallow dish and bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until done.
• Note - friend and I often prepare this as a make ahead, freezing chicken after frying and draining.

• 2. Place chicken breasts, 1 at a time, into a Ziploc freezer bag. Pound the breast out from the center with a wooden mallet to form ¼" thick cutlets. Sprinkle meat with salt and place a cheese stick on each piece of chicken. Roll it up like a jelly roll and dust with flour, dip in egg, then crumbs. Repeat with all the rolls. Cover and chill for about an hour.
• 3. An hour before serving, fry the rolls in hot fat (375 degrees) until golden brown; drain on paper towel and place in shallow baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 - 45 minutes
