🧀✨ Creamy Baked Chicken Rolls

Juicy chicken breasts filled with ham and cheese, baked in a rich creamy sauce — golden, cheesy, and irresistible!

Ingredients

• 4 large chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 4 slices of ham (or turkey ham)
• 4 slices of cheese (mozzarella, gouda, or emmental)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 1 cup heavy cream (or 200 ml cooking cream)
• 1/2 cup grated cheese (for topping)
• 1 tbsp butter
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten slightly with a rolling pin or meat mallet. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Assemble rolls: Lay a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each chicken piece. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed.
4. Brown the rolls: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet. Sear each roll for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).
5. Prepare sauce: In a small bowl, mix heavy cream with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour it into a baking dish.
6. Bake: Place the chicken rolls in the dish, sprinkle with grated cheese, and bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
7. Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Tips & Variations

• Add a layer of spinach or mushrooms inside each roll for extra flavor.
• Use bechamel sauce instead of cream for a richer texture.
• Replace ham with turkey or omit it for a lighter version.
