A delightful twist on a classic dish, these bacon-wrapped chicken rolls are filled with a creamy and nutty mixture, then served with a rich mustard sauce.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally but not all the way through. Open them up and gently pound them between parchment paper to even out the thickness.
Pounding the chicken helps it cook evenly and makes it easier to roll.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Spread blue cheese, pecans, and scallions evenly over the surface.
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Roll up each chicken breast tightly and wrap with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks.
Wrapping with bacon adds flavor and helps keep the chicken moist.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken rolls on all sides until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a nice crust.
Transfer the chicken rolls to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in half-and-half and mustard, cooking until the sauce thickens.
Stir constantly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth sauce.
Slice the chicken rolls and serve with the mustard sauce drizzled over the top.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and added flavor.
