A festive version of Mediterranean-style chicken rolls - stuffed with bell peppers and mozzarella.
Delicious chicken fillet rolls will turn out much juicier if:
Take chicken fillet, cut from the thighs and legs.
Wrap the chicken roll in a strip of bacon to keep the chicken juicy.
You can come up with a huge variety of fillings for such rolls. Today I suggest using bell pepper strips, preferably several colors, and Mozzarella cheese as a filling. Smoked paprika will add a special taste to the rolls.
Prepare ingredients for preparing chicken rolls with bell pepper and mozzarella according to the list. My chicken fillet from the legs and thighs was cut off the bones already in the store.
Ингредиенты
Bacon - 6-7 strips
Chicken thighs - 2 pcs.
Bell pepper - 1 pc.
Mozzarella - 1 ball
Smoked paprika (optional) - 0.5 tsp.
Salt - to taste
Ground black pepper - to taste
Рецепт
1. Separate the thigh from the leg. Remove the skin from them. Make cuts on one side of the chicken flesh and cut the meat so that you get these strips of meat. Cut the strip of meat cut from the thigh in half lengthwise. As a result, from two legs we will get 6 strips of chicken fillet.
2. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, add smoked paprika and roll well in spices on all sides.
3. Depending on the size of the chicken, you can use either 1 or 2 strips of bacon, whichever you prefer. Place strip of bacon on cutting board.
4. Stepping back a little from the edges, place a strip of chicken fillet on the bacon.
5. Cut the bell pepper into strips.
6. Remove the mozzarella from the package, blot the liquid with a napkin and cut the cheese into cubes.
7. Place a couple of pepper strips and a block of mozzarella on the chicken fillet.
8. Roll up the roll. Secure the edges of the bacon with wooden skewers.
9. Repeat the procedure with all pieces of meat, bacon and filling. Place the finished rolls on a baking sheet.
10. Place the baking sheet with chicken rolls in an oven preheated to 180 degrees C for 25-30 minutes.
11. Serve ready-made chicken rolls wrapped in bacon with bell pepper and mozzarella as a hot appetizer or main course.
12. Bon appetit!
