Chicken Rolls

You will need:
1-2 chicken thighs per person
1 cocktail stick per thigh
some cream cheese (philli, or triangles, or whatever you have)
somthing to stuff it with, i.e asparagus spears

What to do:
Heat oven to 200C or equivilent (around 375F or gas 5-6)

Take a chicken thigh and bung it in a food bag, or wrap in clingfilm.
Take a rolling pin or similar and bash the chicken until flattened and thinned (this is great after a bad day - let all those grievances out!)
Repeat with all the chicken thighs.

Now, spread some cheese on the bashed thigh. as little or as much as you like, of whatever variety you like too. Garlic & Herb varietys add extra flavour. but what ever you have lying around the fridge will work

Chuck on your filling (asparagus here but you can do it with almost any veg that cooks quick like peppers or mushroom (tho use a hard type or they'll go soggy)) and roll up as tight as you can.

Stab with a cocktail stick where the join is to secure.

Repeat with all bashed thighs.

Chuck them in a oven proof dish, join side down. Cover with foil

Bung them in the oven for 20 minutes.

When the buzzer sounds, take out and remove the foil. Stick back in for another 5 minutes to brown and finish cooking.

When you serve, please remind people you dont eat the stick (you'd be surprised).

Goes great with fresh veg and new pots.

As this is a recipe I've kind of thrown together, I can't give you any nutritional values, sorry. you could use breast if that's what you have to hand, but I find thigh is easier to bash and has a better flavour.

Go experiment with fillings - the world is your oyster (tho I'm not sure oyster would work as a filling for Chicken Rolls.....)

Summary: A good mid-week dish
