CHICKEN ROULADE WITH SPINACH FETA CHEESE AND ROASTED RED PEPPER.

Steps:

• Trim off any fat and cut part way through the underside of the chicken to flatten it out slightly.
• Put the chicken on top of a piece of cling film, and season each breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Then cover with another piece of cling film and pound chicken till it flattens out (not too much it is easy to overdo this) and the seasoning is embedded in the meat.
• Take each breast and layer it with the spinach leaves first then the feta and the red pepper.
• Fold in the sides of each breast and roll up and secure with tooth picks.
• Cover with cling film and chill for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325°F .
• In a large dish big enough to dip the chicken in beat the eggs.
• Next to the eggs, use another dish about the same size and combine bread crumbs and garlic dip mix.
• Put the oil in a skillet and allow to get hot.
• While the oil is heating, take the chicken and first dip into the egg till coated and then into the bread crumbs, making sure all surfaces are covered.
• When the oil is hot add the chicken to the skillet, one at a time, and turn using tongs, when each side has become lightly browned. Then place on a baking sheet. Repeat with each breast.
• When all the chicken has been browned, place baking sheet, and roast for about 25 minutes or till the internal temperature is 170°F or juices run clear.
• Enjoy.

CHEESE AND SPINACH ROULADE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C.
• Cut bread into thin slices. Brush slices lightly on each side with oil. Place in a single layer on an oven tray. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly brown, turning once.
• Remove stalks from spinach leaves, place leaves into bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand for about 3 minutes or until leaves have softened. Drain and cool. Squeeze out excess liquid; drain on sheets of paper towel.
• Lay spinach leaves flat, overlapping each other on a piece of plastic wrap, to form a 25 x 20cm rectangle.
• Beat cheeses together until smooth. Spread cheese mixture evenly over the spinach. Top cheese evenly with pimiento/red pepper.
• Using the plastic wrap as a guide, carefully roll up spinach to enclose the cheese. Remove plastic wrap and cut log into thin slices (about 1.5cm).
• Serve on the slices of baked bread.
• Note: The cheese/spinach can be made ahead and kept wrapped in the plastic wrap in the fridge, cooking the bread slices and slicing the roll just before serving. Refrigerating also makes cutting the cheese easier. Herbs could be added to or sprinkled over the cheese mix to taste, or substitute caviar or shredded smoked salmon for the pimiento (yummm).
