Baked Chicken Rolls With Cheese Food

CREAM CHEESE SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Flatten the chicken breast to about 1/4-inch thickness.
• In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, spinach, garlic, nutmeg, seasoning salt and pepper (or cayenne pepper) until well combined.
• Mix the dry breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl; set aside.
• Mix together the melted butter with garlic powder; set aside.
• Spoon equal amounts of mixture across the narrow end of each breast.
• Roll up jelly-roll style, and secure with toothpicks.
• Dip the stuffed breast into the egg, then roll into the dry breadcrumb mixture.
• Place into a buttered baking dish, seam-side down.
• Drizzle with butter/garlic mixture.
• Bake for about 30 minutes.

BAKED MOZZARELLA CHICKEN ROLLS

Steps:

• Prep the chicken: Cut the chicken into 8 pieces and pound the pieces until they are thin (for quick cooking) and have expanded in surface area (for more filling). Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and set aside.
• Prep the filling: Chop the spinach and saute it with the garlic and just a drizzle of olive oil for 2-3 minutes or until just barely wilted. Combine the sauteed spinach with the ricotta, Parmesan cheese, and 2-3 tablespoons of the egg whites. Place the remaining egg whites in a separate shallow bowl and set aside.
• Assemble the chicken: Oil the bottom of a large baking dish and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place one piece of chicken on a flat working surface. Put a spoonful of ricotta-spinach filling right in the middle and roll the chicken up so that the edges meet to form a "seam". Dip the entire chicken roll in egg whites, and then roll it in the breadcrumbs. Place in a baking dish, seam side down. Repeat for the remaining 7 pieces of chicken. Bake for 25 minutes.
• Finishing touches: After 25 minutes, the chicken should be cooked through (white on the inside) and browned on the top. Cover the chicken with the marinara sauce and slices of fresh Mozzarella. Bake for another 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melting. Sprinkle with fresh basil.

BAKED CHICKEN ROLLS WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease small baking sheet.
• Place chicken breasts between sheets of waxed paper and pound to 1/4-inch thickness, using mallet or rolling pin. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Combine crumbs, Romano cheese, paprika and thyme in shallow dish. Place 1 cheese stick at short end of each chicken breast. Roll up chicken, enclosing cheese. Trim cheese even with ends of chicken if necessary. Brush chicken rolls with olive oil. Dip into breadcrumb mixture, pressing crumbs to adhere. Arrange chicken rolls seam side down on prepared baking sheet. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Bake chicken until cooked through and coating is crisp, about 15 minutes.

CORDON BLEU CHICKEN ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place each chicken breast half between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to about 1/8 inch thickness. Place a finger of cheese on each ham slice and sprinkle lightly with thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Roll up seasoned ham and cheese 'jellyroll-style', then roll each chicken breast with ham and cheese inside. Tuck in ends and fasten with toothpicks.
• Place melted butter in a small bowl and place cereal crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip each chicken roll in butter or margarine, then roll in crumbs, turning to coat thoroughly. Place coated rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for about 40 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear. Serve with cordon bleu sauce, if desired.
• To Make Cordon Bleu Sauce: In a small saucepan mix together the soup, sour cream and lemon juice. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, and serve hot over chicken rolls. Makes about 2 cups; 8 servings of 1/4 cup each.

BAKED CHICKEN IN CRESCENT ROLLS FOR 2

Steps:

• Poach the chicken for 15 minutes in enough water to cover; salt and pepper the water; remove from water, cool and cut into 4 pieces.
• Divide the crescent rolls and roll chicken in the rolls (you will not use but 4 of the rolls, so you will have 4 left over to cook for your bread) Place the chicken into a 8x8 casserole dish which has been sprayed with pam or buttered.
• Place seam side down.
• Heat soup, milk and 1/2 cup cheese in a small sauce pan until cheese is melted.
• Pour over chicken bundles and then sprinkle the other 1/2 cup cheese on top.
• Bake at 350 degrees until rolls are golden brown, approximately 20 minutes.
• NOTE: I always freeze the water that I use to poach the chicken in 2 cup servings.
• I then use this in the place of water in soups and stews.
