Chicken roll with cheese in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake a chicken roll with cheese in the oven? Prepare the products. Take two large chicken fillets or three small ones. Choose any hard cheese, but of good quality, without milk fat substitutes. Mayonnaise is also suitable for any: fatty, not greasy, garlic, on quail eggs, etc. You can make mayonnaise yourself. Or even replace it with sour cream, reducing the calorie content of the dish.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the fillet, cut off the films and veins from it, cut in half almost to the end and unfold. Try not to tear or cut the meat, otherwise the cheese filling will leak out of it during cooking.

3. Step 3:

   

   Beat the fillet well with a meat mallet, trying not to tear it! You can cover the fillet with cling film and beat through it — this will prevent the splashing of meat juice.

4. Step 4:

   

   Season each fillet with salt and pepper to your liking, lay it on top of each other, trying to make one edge of the fillet go on the other. Then, when folding the fillet into a roll, the filling will not come out. If desired, you can use other seasonings or spices: ground red pepper, ground paprika, dried garlic powder, a mixture of herbs.

5. Step 5:

   

   Smear each fillet with mayonnaise. This sauce must be added, since the meat contains almost no fat and it can taste dry when cooked. Mayonnaise helps to make the dish more juicy.

7. Step 6:

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a grater with small cells, put it on the chicken fillet. Wash the greens, dry them, then chop them. Put it on the cheese layer.

8. Step 7:

   

   Twist the fillet with the filling into a roll, trying to act carefully so that the filling does not fall out. You can twist it both from the short side and from the wide side — in the first case, the roll will turn out thicker.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the blank on the foil and wrap it tightly. Place the roll in foil on a baking sheet. Bake it in the oven at 220 ° C for about 25-30 minutes. 5-10 minutes before cooking, open the foil and let the dish bake until golden brown.

    Put the hot roll on a board or dish, be sure to let it cool down. Only then cut into pieces. If desired, the hot roll can be smeared with sauce: mayonnaise, garlic sauce, so that its surface becomes softer and juicier.
