Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts sliced into thin fillets
- 12 –14 slices bacon
- 1 ball mozzarella sliced
- 2 tomatoes sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried garlic
- 1 tsp dried onion
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin fillets. Pound each fillet with a kitchen mallet until even and thin. Season both sides with salt, pepper, dried garlic, dried onion, and paprika.
Prepare the Filling
- Slice the mozzarella into even pieces. Slice the tomatoes into rounds. Set aside along with fresh basil leaves.
Assemble the Roulade
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Arrange the bacon slices on top, slightly overlapping, to form a base.
- Place the seasoned chicken fillets over the bacon. Layer mozzarella slices, tomato slices, and basil leaves evenly over the chicken.
Roll the Roulade
- Using the plastic wrap to guide you, roll everything tightly into a compact log. Transfer the roulade to a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Bake the Roulade
- Bake in a preheated oven at 190–200°C (375–400°F) until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is golden and crispy, about 35–45 minutes depending on thickness.
Serve
- Let the roulade rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy a flavorful combination of chicken, bacon, mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil.
