Step 1: Prepare the Roulade Filling
The creamy herb filling enhances the flavor of the chicken.
- Method: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, lemon zest, and thyme. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2: Assemble the Chicken Roulade
Rolling the chicken ensures the filling stays perfectly in place.
- Method: Lay the pounded chicken breasts flat and spread an even layer of the filling onto each one. Roll the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Step 3: Sear and Bake the Chicken
Cooking the roulade to perfection locks in flavor and moisture.
- Method: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken on all sides until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
