Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Spinach 1/4 bunch (approx. 50g)
  • Chicken Breast 1 piece (approx. 350g)
  • Potato Starch 1 tsp

Seasonings

  • Salt (to taste)
  • Grated Garlic 1/2 tsp
  • [A] Whole Grain Mustard 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mayonnaise 2 tbsp
  • [A] Honey 2/3 tbsp

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp Whole Grain Mustard, 2 tbsp Mayonnaise, and 2/3 tbsp Honey, and mix to create the honey mustard sauce.
  2. Thoroughly wash 1/4 bunch (approx. 50g) Spinach under running water.
  3. Wrap the washed spinach in plastic wrap and microwave for 40 seconds on 600W.
  4. Dip the microwaved spinach in cold water to cool it down, then remove the plastic wrap.
  5. Squeeze out the water from the spinach firmly by hand.
  6. Trim about 1 cm from the root end of the squeezed spinach and finely chop it.
  7. Remove the skin from 1 piece (approx. 350g) Chicken Breast and butterfly it.
  8. Cover the butterflied chicken with plastic wrap and pound it with a rolling pin or similar until it's about 3mm thick.
  9. Trim the outer edges of the flattened chicken to create a rectangular shape. The trimmed pieces will be used for the meat paste; set them aside. Cover the remaining chicken with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
  10. Place the cut chicken pieces (for the meat paste) into a food processor.
  11. Add Salt (to taste), 1/2 tsp Grated Garlic, and 1 tsp Potato Starch to the food processor and process until it forms a paste. (Key Tip! If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the chicken with a knife until minced.)
  12. Add the chopped spinach to the processed chicken paste and mix until well combined.
  13. Take the flattened chicken breast and spread the prepared meat paste evenly over it, aligning it with the near edge.
  14. Fold the near edge of the chicken breast over the meat paste and roll it up. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to form a candy shape.
  15. Twist both ends of the plastic wrap firmly while holding them to ensure no air pockets and to secure the candy shape.
  16. Wrap the plastic-wrapped chicken in aluminum foil, using 2 layers.
  17. Place the foil-wrapped chicken on a heatproof dish or plate, and put it inside a deep frying pan or pot.
  18. Pour water into the pan along the sides of the chicken and cover with a lid.
  19. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and cook for 20 minutes.
  20. Once cooking is finished, carefully remove the chicken, being mindful of steam, and let it cool down.
  21. Once cooled, remove the aluminum foil and plastic wrap.
  22. Slice the roll chicken into approximately 5mm thick pieces and arrange them on a plate.
  23. Serve with the prepared honey mustard sauce.
