It’s the kind of meal that fills the house with warmth before it ever hits the table.
STEP 1
Prepare the chicken breasts (cutting & flattening)
- Place one chicken breast on a cutting board.
- Hold it flat with one hand.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the breast horizontally from the thicker side, without cutting all the way through.
- Open it like a book.
- Lightly pound the chicken using a meat mallet, rolling pin, or a heavy object until evenly flattened (about 1–1.5 cm thick).
- Repeat with all chicken breasts.
The goal is to create a large, flat piece that’s easy to roll.
STEP 2
Prepare the filling:
In a bowl, gently mix:
- Crumbled feta
- Fresh onions
- Minced garlic
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Black pepper
Do not overmix—the filling should remain crumbly.
STEP 3
Fill the chicken:
Lay all the chicken breasts flat next to each other, inner side facing up, as shown in the video.
Lightly grease them with extra virgin olive oil.
Spread the feta mixture evenly over the chicken, leaving about 2 cm (¾ inch) space on the sides.
Arrange the sliced peppers in one line over the filling.
STEP 4
Roll the chicken:
Fold the shorter sides inward (like an envelope).
Roll tightly into a log, starting from the filled side.
Place seam-side down.
STEP 5
Tie the chicken rolls:
Cut kitchen twine into 3–4 pieces per roll.
Slide the twine underneath and tie snugly (not too tight).
Tie every 3–4 cm along the roll.
Trim excess string.
This keeps the filling inside and ensures even cooking.
STEP 6
Assemble the dish:
Preheat the oven to 380°F (180°C).
Place the chicken roll in the center of a baking pan and arrange the potatoes around it. Shake the sauce jar well and drizzle evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Add the 1/3 cup (100 ml) water to the jar, swirl to collect any remaining sauce, and pour it along the side of the pan.
Sprinkle the chicken with extra black pepper and a little more salt.
STEP 7
Bake:
Cover the pan with a lid or parchment paper and aluminum foil.
Bake at 380°F (180°C) for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Remove the cover and bake for an additional 40–45 minutes, until:
- The chicken is golden
- The potatoes are tender
- The juices are rich and glossy
During the uncovered baking time, baste the chicken 3–4 times with the pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
STEP 8
Serve:
Remove the strings before serving.
Slice the chicken into thick rounds.
Serve warm with the lemony potatoes and pan sauce.
Perfect with a simple salad, fresh bread, and a glass of Gratsi White.
