Vickys Spinach & Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Rolls, Gluten, Dairy, Egg & Soy-Free
- 4 tbsp oil, divided
- 115 grams mushrooms, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 250 grams fresh spinach
- 250 grams cream cheese, see my profile (vic20adamant) for a free-from recipe)
- 50 grams grated cheddar cheese (I use Violife brand - gf, df, ef, sf)
- 1 salt & pepper to taste
- 8 large boneless chicken breasts
- 1 nutmeg or paprika for extra flavouring
- In a large frying pan, heat 2 tbsp of the oil and gently fry off the onion and mushrooms until the mushrooms are browing
- Add the garlic and continue cooking until the onion is translucent, then take off the heat
- Meanwhile, put the spinach in a pan with 1 tbsp of water over a medium-low heat, cover and let it wilt down
- Drain the spinach then squeeze the water out by placing it in a clean towel and pressing down.
- Chop it roughly
- Put the spinach back in the pan and add the mushroom mixture to it.
- Stir in the cream cheese and grated cheese then season to taste.
- I like to add a little paprika and nutmeg with the salt & pepper
- Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of clingfilm or parchment paper
- Beat them flat with a rolling pin until uniformly around half a centimetre /5mm thick
- Add an 8th of the filling mixture in a mound on top of each flattened piece of chicken
- Roll the chicken over and around the filling, tucking in the open ends and securing them well with a cocktail stick or two to stop them unrolling
- Heat the rest of the oil in the frying pan (don't clean it) you used before and place the chicken rolls in seam down
- Season the chicken with some more salt & pepper and a touch of paprika or chicken seasoning if desired
- Fry for 3 minutes on the bottom, top then on each side until all over is golden and cooked through
- Let rest, covered, for 5 minutes then serve with your choice of sides
