Boneless chicken breasts, halved horizontally and beaten flat between two plastic sheets 3
Tomatoes, seeded and chopped 3 tbsps
Cooked rice ½ cup
Mozzarella cheese, grated 3 tbsps
Dried mixed herbs 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Freshly crushed black peppercorns to taste
Olive oil 2 tsps
Methods
Preheat the oven to
180º C.
To make the filling,
take tomatoes in a bowl, add rice, mozzarella cheese, mixed herbs, salt and freshly crushed black peppercorns and mix well.
Spread all the chicken
breast pieces on the work top, put some of the filling in the centre of each piece and roll the chicken carefully ensuring that the filling mixture does not spill out.
Keep all the rolls side
by side on the chopping board and carefully trim the two ends so that all the rolls are of the same size.
Heat oil in a wide
non-stick pan, keep the rolls in it with their open edge facing down. When the underside is lightly browned, flip it and let the other side cook similarly.
Switch off the heat
and transfer the rolls into a glass baking dish. Keep the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Arrange them in a
serving platter and insert a toothpick into each roll. Serve hot with some salad.
