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
- 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.
- Thoroughly wash 1/4 bunch (approx. 50g) Spinach under running water.
- Wrap the washed spinach in plastic wrap and microwave for 40 seconds on 600W.
- Dip the microwaved spinach in cold water to cool it down, then remove the plastic wrap.
- Squeeze out the water from the spinach firmly by hand.
- Trim about 1 cm from the root end of the squeezed spinach and finely chop it.
- Remove the skin from 1 piece (approx. 350g) Chicken Breast and butterfly it.
- Cover the butterflied chicken with plastic wrap and pound it with a rolling pin or similar until it's about 3mm thick.
- 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.
- Place the cut chicken pieces (for the meat paste) into a food processor.
- 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.)
- Add the chopped spinach to the processed chicken paste and mix until well combined.
- Take the flattened chicken breast and spread the prepared meat paste evenly over it, aligning it with the near edge.
- 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.
- Twist both ends of the plastic wrap firmly while holding them to ensure no air pockets and to secure the candy shape.
- Wrap the plastic-wrapped chicken in aluminum foil, using 2 layers.
- Place the foil-wrapped chicken on a heatproof dish or plate, and put it inside a deep frying pan or pot.
- Pour water into the pan along the sides of the chicken and cover with a lid.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and cook for 20 minutes.
- Once cooking is finished, carefully remove the chicken, being mindful of steam, and let it cool down.
- Once cooled, remove the aluminum foil and plastic wrap.
- Slice the roll chicken into approximately 5mm thick pieces and arrange them on a plate.
- Serve with the prepared honey mustard sauce.
