Baked Chicken Rolls in Creamy Cheese Sauce

by

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Flatten the chicken breasts gently using a rolling pin between two plastic wraps until thin and even.
    • Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Add the Filling:
    • Sprinkle shredded cheese on one side of each chicken piece.
    • Roll the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  3. Sear the Rolls:
    • Heat butter in a pan over medium heat.
    • Sear chicken rolls until golden brown on all sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).
    • Transfer them to a baking dish.
  4. Prepare the Sauce:
    • In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in the flour.
    • Gradually add milk and stir until thickened.
    • Mix in cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cheese until smooth.
    • Pour the sauce over the chicken rolls.
  5. Bake the Dish:
    • Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
    • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the top is golden.
  6. Garnish:
    • Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

🍽️ Instructions (Methods)

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Allow the chicken to sit with seasoning for at least 15 minutes for deeper flavor.
  2. Perfect Searing: Browning the rolls first adds a crust and locks in juices.
  3. Cream Sauce Consistency: Keep whisking to avoid lumps. The sauce should be smooth and glossy.
  4. Baking: Do not cover — you want the cheese to melt and form a light golden crust.
