Ingredients’ Breakdown

For the Chicken Roulades

• Chicken breast fillets: We are using the traditional chicken breast fillets. You can use the chicken thighs, but it will make the roulade fatty and take more time to cook.
• Parma ham or Serrano ham: Parma ham has a delicately sweet, nutty, and savory flavor. You can use regular ham, but the flavor profile of Parma and Serrano ham is more enhanced.
• Baby spinach: Baby spinach adds a great, earthy flavor that balances out ham and cheese.
• Gruyère or mozzarella: Gruyère has a nutty, creamy, and complex flavor with the notes of fruit, caramel, and earthiness. It complements the taste of the chicken and ham so well. While mozzarella has a mild, savory, and creamy flavor.
• Salt & freshly ground pepper: Salt and freshly ground pepper really enhance the taste of the roulades.
• Dijon mustard: Dijon mustard adds a spicy and earthy kick.
• Olive oil and butter: The combination of the two is used to fry the roulades in buttery goodness.

Ingredients For White Wine Sauce

• Dry white wine: Dry White wine has a slightly acidic, citrusy, and crisp flavor. When cooked off, it gives a bright flavor that cuts through the flavor of protein really well.
• Heavy cream: Heavy cream adds a touch of creaminess to the sauce.
• Shallot: Shallot has a mild oniony flavor that balances the bold flavor of the wine in the sauce.
• Butter: Butter adds buttery richness to the sauce.
• Flour: It is a thickening agent for the sauce.
• Salt & pepper: Salt and pepper finish the sauce with the savory peppery flavor.

For the Rosemary Potatoes

• Potatoes: We are using small potatoes with skins. You can use any potatoes with or without skin.
• Olive oil: Olive oil will help in sticking the seasoning to the potatoes. It also helps in cooking them crispy.
• Rosemary: Fresh Rosemary gives the potatoes a clean, herby flavor. You can use dried rosemary as well, but it will be very mild-tasting.
• Salt and pepper: Salt and pepper makes the potatoes savory and peppery.
