Grilled Chicken Roulade
It’s a new style of Roulade. Think chicken pinwheels wrapped in bacon. You start with chicken breast rolled like a Cordon Bleu and then slice it into 4 pieces and wrap it in bacon. Then you can grill nicely. Special thanks to Sabine Wörn for this fun recipe and interesting spin on Rouladen.
Step 1
Place the chicken breast inside a plastic storage bag that you cut all but one side.
Step 2
Pound the chicken breast between a plastic storage bag till very thin.
Step 3
Squeeze the chopped spinach to get rid of any excess water.
Step 4
Top the chicken breast with the Black Forest ham.
Step 5
Top the ham with the spinach and parmesan blend.
Step 6
Top further with slices of Swiss cheese.
Step 7
Lift the bag and roll the chicken breast up. The plastic bag helps to roll it neatly.
Step 8
Cut the Breast into 4 pieces. Don’t worry if it looks a bit rough.
Step 9
The ham will wrap it up nicely.
Step 10
Use toothpicks (2 for each) to ensure the Rouladen stay together before you place them on the grill.
Step 11
Cook them for about 5 minutes on medium heat and flip them over and cook another 3 minutes or until done. I recommend putting the lid down when you flip them, they will cook faster and more evenly.
Check for an internal temp of 160 degrees F.
Final Thoughts
These Rouladen are also a perfect accompaniment to a mixed grill. They play nicely with others.
Slow cooking gets the chicken done and the cheese inside melted but not so much that the cheese starts to ooze out.
And then, you are ready to serve. They are good as is, maybe a squeeze of lemon if you prefer.
