Cooking delicious chicken rolls with mushrooms
Chicken rolls are from the West. The name of the dish has French roots ("rouler", which means "roll up"). Meat envelopes were first fried and then stewed. Different fillings were used. But chicken rolls with mushrooms and cheese have become very popular. And all because of their zesty taste. The dish goes well with wine.
Mushroom chicken rolls in a pan
To prepare a culinary masterpiece, you should purchase: 0.3 kg of chicken fillet and the same champignons, one onion turnip, 0.125 ml of fresh cream, butter (1-2 tbsp. l.). Additionally, you need flour (as breading), salt, spices, pepper. Frying is carried out in vegetable oil. The frying process uses sunflower oil. Try to leave as much oil as possible in the pan to keep the filling less greasy.
You need to cut the chicken fillet in thickness, trying to keep the slices 8 * 1-2 cm (length and thickness, respectively).
Cooking process:
- Wash the mushrooms thoroughly under running water, cut the stem, dry on a towel and cut into small pieces. Put in a preheated pan, pour in vegetable oil and fry until all moisture has evaporated.
- Peel the onion, rinse with water, cut into cubes and place in the pan with the mushrooms. Add pepper, salt, spices if necessary.
- Fry the contents of a frying pan in vegetable oil until the onions acquire golden color, setting the heat to medium.
- Wash the chicken fillet thoroughly, dry with a paper towel and cut into pieces. Season with pepper, salt, add spices and thoroughly grind the "sprinkle" over the entire surface of each piece.
- Wrap the slices in plastic wrap and beat until soft. Just don't overdo it.
- Put a little filling in the center of each beaten chicken fillet (the amount is at your discretion).
- Roll up the fillet. Fix the upper edge with a wooden skewer or a toothpick. This will prevent it from unwinding. Just press the sides of each roll well and they stick together and will not allow the filling to slip out.
- Dip all the rolls in flour.
- Send to a preheated skillet, put on high heat and fry until golden brown. There is no need to wait for the complete cooking of the dish.
- Transfer all meat rolls with mushrooms to a saucepan (as an option - a saucepan and a frying pan with a thick bottom) and pour in the cream.
- Simmer the contents for about 20 minutes over low heat.
Put the finished chicken rolls with mushrooms on a dish, remove the skewers, sprinkle with finely chopped herbs and serve.
Chicken breast roll in bacon
And here is another very original dish - chicken roll with mushrooms and cheese, baked in bacon. This is a very simple recipe, suitable for both everyday and holiday menus. It is the bacon that makes the chicken tender and juicy.
To prepare a chicken roll with mushrooms, you will need: 0.4-0.5 kg of mushrooms, 1 kg chicken breast, 2 stalks leek, 2 large slices of cheese, 1 kg of bacon. Additionally, you need vegetable and butter (approximately 1 tsp.each), as well as salt, spices and ground pepper.
If you were unable to purchase the leek, you can replace it with a regular onion turnip.
Cooking process:
- Wash the leeks and cut into rings or cubes (in the case of a turnip).
- Heat a frying pan, pour in the vegetable oil mixed with butter, and fry the onion. Meanwhile, quickly wash the mushrooms, dry on a towel, cut into pieces and send them to the neighborhood with the onions. Fry the contents, stirring occasionally, after setting medium heat.
- Wash the meat, dry it on a towel and make an incision along, but not completely. As a result, you should get a sort of open "book". Lightly beat the pulp with a hammer.
- Grease the meat a little with vegetable oil, sprinkle with spices, salt, pepper.
- After 10 minutes from the start of frying the mushrooms, increase the heat and fry until the mushrooms acquire golden color. Then turn off the fire and cool the mass.
- Transfer the breast to cling film so that you get a whole "canvas".
- Spread the onion-mushroom mass evenly over the meat. For the juiciness of the future roll, put slices of bacon or bacon on top.
- Top with cheese, grated if desired.
- Using cling film roll the stuffed meat into a roll.
- Wrap the meatloaf with mushrooms on top in bacon. This will prevent it from drying out.
- Put foil on a baking sheet or grease well with butter, put chicken roll with mushrooms and bake in the oven for half an hour. Then check for readiness.
The roll can be served hot or cold, whole piece or cut into portions.
You can change the filling for chicken rolls to your liking, for example, add tomato or eggs. Additionally, you can serve sour cream-garlic or sweet sauce. Try it! We assure you that such a dish will become a signature dish.
