A new style of Rouladen

This is a fun interesting recipe from Sabine Wörn that figured this out and sent it to me.
It is novel and fun to cut little pinwheels from a chicken breast rolled like a Cordon Bleu and then sliced into 4 and wrapped in bacon. Then you can BBQ these nicely.

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

Pound the chicken breast between a plastic storage bag till very thin.

 

 

Squeeze the chopped spinach to get rid of any excess water.

Open the plastic bag top and place the Black Forest ham on the chicken breast.

Top the ham with the spinach and parmesan blend.

Top with some slices of swiss cheese.

lift the bag and roll the chicken breast up. The plastic bag helps to roll it neatly.

Cut the Breast into 4 pieces. This looks a bit rough....

However the bacon will tighten it up nicely.

Toothpick the Rouladen to hold them together and they are ready for the BBQ.

This is a perfect accompaniment to a mixed grill.

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.
