Chicken Rolls with Dried Beef and Cheese

Featured Product

Thinly sliced halal dried beef

Ingredients

• 4 large halal-certified chicken fillets
• 100 g thinly sliced dried beef
• 120 g semi-hard halal-certified cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and a few basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 150 ml halal chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper
• Roasted zucchini, peppers, and red onion for serving

Preparation

1. Slice the chicken fillets horizontally to open them like a book. Cover with baking paper and gently pound them until evenly thin. Season lightly with pepper; use salt sparingly.
2. Place dried beef, cheese, and herbs on each fillet. Roll tightly and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
3. Brown the rolls on all sides in olive oil. Add the chicken stock, cover, and cook over low heat for 15–18 minutes, until the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 74°C.
4. Remove the rolls and let them rest for 5 minutes. Reduce the cooking liquid, then add lemon juice and parsley.
5. Slice the rolls, pour over the sauce, and serve with roasted vegetables.

Tip

Check the halal status of the cheese: potential concerns may include rennet, enzymes, and other ingredients of animal origin.
