Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium chicken breasts (approx 1.6 lbs)
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 tbsp creamy peach vinaigrette
  • 10-12 green beans, trimmed
  • 1/2 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 4-6 tbsp shredded cheese (feta, mozzarella, or parmesan)
  • 1 tbsp ghee or avocado oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create an even spice blend.
  3. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound until thin and uniform in thickness.
  4. Season the chicken cutlets generously on both sides with the spice blend.
  5. Spread a thin layer of creamy peach vinaigrette over each cutlet.
  6. Arrange a portion of green beans, bell pepper strips, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese in the center of each breast.
  7. Roll the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  8. Heat ghee or avocado oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Sear the chicken rolls until golden brown on all sides.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.

Notes

Pounding the chicken is crucial for even cooking and preventing the meat from drying out. Ensure green beans are blanched beforehand if they are thick to ensure they reach tenderness at the same time as the chicken. Use high-smoke point oils like ghee or avocado oil for the best sear.
