Ingredients

  • 1 kg boneless whole chicken breasts you need the whole pieces, not cut up
  • 1 medium sized onion finely chopped
  • 10 fat cloves of garlic peeled and minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter plus extra to grease and brush
  • Italian seasoning dried mixed herbs
  • grated cheddar or parmesan cheese as required
  • mozzarella cheese as required
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
  • garlic salt optional
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the chicken breasts and pat dry. Carefully slice them into half, horizontally so you get thinner 'sheets' of each breast piece.
  • Marinate all the pieces lightly with salt and place them on a large baking sheet that has been lightly greased with olive oil or butter.
  • Heat some oil in a wok/kadai and fry the chopped onions till translucent, add the minced garlic and fry on a reduced heat for a few seconds. Don't let the garlic burn or it will taste bitter. Remove the mixture onto a plate and let it cool.
  • Spread the butter on each piece of the sliced chicken breast and add the prepared filling across the length of the chicken. Then add the Italian seasoning and/or garlic salt (if you are using garlic salt make sure you don't add too much as the chicken is already marinated with salt in step#2)
  • Sprinkle the grated cheeses and chopped coriander.
  • Roll up the chicken from the broadest side first and secure the ends using toothpicks. Drizzle with olive oil or brush with extra butter.
  • Preheat oven to 220 C and cook the chicken on 'bake' mode for 12 minutes. Then change the oven setting to 'grill' mode for another 8-9 minutes or till it looks golden on the surface.
  • Remove from oven and carefully remove the toothpicks. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or any side of your choice.
