Add a photoThe basic version of this recipe abounds on the Internet, using boneless chicken breasts and gouda cheese. I tweaked it to use what I had on hand, and that was chicken tenders. The resulting rollups are smaller, almost luncheon size, and you can use the cheese you prefer if no gouda's available - Swiss, cheddar, jack, mozzarella. Double the recipe for 4+ servings. But as is, it's perfect for 2-3.
Ingredientes
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (or more to taste)
- 3/4 to 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (I used chicken tenders, about 8 large pieces)
- 3 ounces smoked gouda cheese, sliced
- 4 slices bacon, cut in half (or use 8 slices to splurge with a total wrap coverage)
- Optional: plum sauce, Balsamic glaze or heated marmalade
Direcciones
- Set oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a non-stick large frypan on low heat, increasing the temperature to medium toward the end of rollups preparation (Step 6 below.)
- In small bowl mix together garlic powder, paprika, black pepper and cayenne; set aside.
- Pound thicker portions of the chicken tenders til they are uniformly 1/4" thick as much as possible (don't pound where they are thin.)
- Sprinkle both sides with the prepared seasoning mix.
- Arrange cheese slices in center of tenders and roll up starting at wide end, pressing firmly.
- Wrap each rollup with a half bacon slice.
- Brown in preheated non-stick pan, turning once, until bacon begins to crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or more until a digital thermometer reads 160 to 165 degrees in center. (Note: if you substitute chicken breast rather than tenders, increase baking time to about 20 minutes, but check internal temp to be sure.)
- If desired, serve with a drizzle of plum sauce, Balsamic vinegar glaze, honey mustard or heated marmalade, just for balance of flavors.
