Chicken Roulades with Sage

by Amy Stafford on October 22, 2012

This is a easy and delicious dinner to put together for a weeknight, but elegant enough for weekend and guests.  You can also portion this down to 1″ bite size pieces and serve as an appetizer.  After you roll chicken, slice and place a toothpick in each section.  Because it is smaller they will cook faster so cut down cooking time to 10-12 minutes.
  • 12 skinless, boneless chicken tenders, pounded thin
  • 8 fresh sage leaves
  • 4 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
  • 3 1/2 ounces pancetta, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper

Lightly pound the chicken with meat mallet.  Lay aside on plate and sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.

Place two sage leaves, and grated cheese on each portion of chicken.

Roll up, wrap in the pancetta slices and secure with toothpics.

Pour both oils in a heavy skillet and heat over medium heat, until oil bubbles when you add chicken.   Add the roulades and cook, turning several times, until browned all over.  Becareful of the oil splattering.

Cover and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, adding a tablespoon of hot water if needed.
