BBQ Chicken Roulade

I

ngredients:

This makes 4 small Chicken Roulades

prep time, about 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 large chicken breast
4 slices Black Forest ham , or you may use prociutto.
1 cup (approx.) chopped frozen spinach (squeeze out the water with hands.)
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 oz or 2 large slices of Swiss Cheese
4 slices of bacon

You can of course double this recipe to make more or you could use a larger breast or even part of a turkey breast.

 
Directions:

1. Place the chicken breast between inside a plastic storage bag that you cut all but one side.

2. Place the ham on the chicken breast.

3. Place a thin layer of the squeezed spinach on the breast. (Too much will just fall out)

4. Add the cheese. Then start to roll it up by lifting the sides of the plastic sack.

5. Then I cut the breast into 4 equal pieces.

6. Wrap the roulade with a strip of bacon to hold it together.

7. Put a long toothpick through each side of the Roulade.

8. I simply sprayed the roulades with a little non- stick spray and grilled them.
You could use a brush and olive oil as well.

9. Cook them for about 5 minutes on medium heat and flip them over and cook another 3 minutes or until done.
You can check them with a thermometer and it should read 160 degrees F. You can also pull roulade off and pry apart the inside to see if the chicken is cooked.
I recommend putting the lid down when you flip them, they will cook faster and more evenly.

Slow cooking gets the chicken done and the cheese inside melted but not so much that the cheese starts to ooze out.
You are ready to serve, and they are good just as is, maybe a squeeze of lemon is all they need.
