Chicken Meditteranean Roll Up Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN ROLL-UP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 deg.
• Lay the puff pastry out to thaw.
• Lay the chicken breast on a piece of cling wrap long enough to fold back over the breast. Pound the meat with a mallet or heavy skillet. If you are using tenders, lay them side by side with a ½ inch overlap.
• Thoroughly mix the vegetables (except the cilantro) and cheeses and spread out in a line across the flattened chicken (after folding the cling wrap off the top).
• Using the bottom of the cling wrap as a tool (much like using a sushi mat), gently roll the chicken into a tube around the mixture. Fasten with toothpicks if necessary.
• Bring some oil to a high heat in a skillet and carefully place the roll in the skillet. Brown on all sides, being very careful when turning the roll.
• Preheat a cookie sheet in the oven.
• Roll out the pastry to insure that the seams don't separate. Place the seared roll in the center of the pastry sheet and sprinkle with the cilantro.
• Fold the pastry up and over the roll and press the overlap together. Pinch the ends to seal the loaf.
• Brush the top with the remaining oil to get a nice browning.
• Place on the cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes, watching closely after 20. Ovens vary.
