Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet.

Pro tip: Ensure even thickness to facilitate rolling and even cooking.

2

Season the Chicken

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Pro tip: Seasoning at this stage enhances the flavour of the chicken.

3

Cook the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and thyme, cooking until fragrant. Add butternut squash, brussels sprouts, and carrot, cooking until tender, about 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Cook vegetables until just tender to maintain a slight bite.

4

Assemble the Roulades

Spread an even layer of the vegetable mixture over each chicken breast. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Roll up each breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.

Pro tip: Use kitchen twine if you don't have toothpicks.

5

Sear the Roulades

In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the roulades, seam side down first, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.

Pro tip: Browning adds flavour and colour to the roulades.

6

Bake the Roulades

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the seared roulades to a baking dish and bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roulade.

7

Rest and Serve

Remove from oven and let the roulades rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

Pro tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
