Chicken rolls with cheese - the general principles of cooking
• Chicken rolls are cooked with various fillings. Products turn out volumetric and it is almost impossible to roast them well in a pan. Therefore, in most cases, they are baked in the oven, and in a frying pan, only lightly fried before. This trick allows you to get a more ruddy crust on rolls.
• The rolls are rolled out of the breast or poultry meat twisted in a meat grinder.
• If the rolls are prepared from the breast, the chicken is cut along large layers, which are then beaten to the same thickness with a culinary hammer. Then season with spices and sprinkle with salt. Spread stuffing and wrap roll. Often already chopped and repulsed chicken marinated.
• To rolls, made from chicken mince, had a flat surface and a neat appearance, they are formed using food film. If not, use a damp cloth or gauze. Chicken mince evenly laid out on the surface of the film or any other material at hand. After that, they lay out the prepared stuffing on it and gently, lifting the edges of the film and helping with the hands, form a roll. Such rolls are usually baked, packed tightly in foil.
• The cheese is crushed into large chips and added directly to the filling or sprinkled with it before baking. If the rolls are made from minced meat, a small amount of cheese is added to it. Often with cheese prepare sauces that are watered finished products.
