chicken roll-ups
| 150 g | (5 ½ oz) cooked rice |
| 50 g | (1 ½oz) mushrooms, finely diced |
| ½ | brown onion, finely diced |
| a handful of spinach leaves | |
| 50 g | (1 ½oz) mozzarella, torn into small chunks |
| 20 g | (¾oz) panko breadcrumbs |
| 20 g | (¾oz) Parmesan cheese, grated |
| 1 tsp | salt |
| ½ tsp | black pepper |
| 4 | chicken breasts |
| Preheat the oven to 190°C. |
| In a bowl, mix together the cooked rice, mushrooms, onion, spinach, mozzarella, panko, Parmesan, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. |
| Lay the chicken breasts on a chopping board. Using a rolling pin (or the bottom of a heavy pan), bash them until they're around 5mm (¼inch) thick. Alternatively, butterfly the breasts and then bash them. |
| Spoon some of the rice mixture on to each chicken breast and roll up tightly, securing with toothpicks if needed. |
| Place the chicken roll-ups in a baking dish and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through. |
| Notes: |
| These are lovelier still cooled down and taken into work for a quick lunch the next day, we might add. |
