A hot bacon and caramelized onion vinaigrette is drizzled over fresh baby spinach, sliced mushrooms, and boiled eggs. so gratifying and earthy! For a little tangy pop reminiscent of a tasty BLT, this is especially fantastic when topped with grape tomatoes.

Reviews
I’m making this tonight and wonder if I can use unsalted crackers instead of any other breading. Do I need to adjust cook time or temperature doing that?
Absolutely loved it! Here was my variation that I think nailed it! First I used Italian bread crumbs. But the sauce is where I leveled up. I use half as much soup as was suggested, a little more sour cream than was suggested… More lemon than what suggested I included lemon zest… But the real kicker was I also added half a cup of Dijon mustard. Everyone loved every bit of it!
It tasted great. I did not have cereal so I used a chicken batter mix. It turned out, its a spicy mix but it was good.
The recipe is interesting and feels good in the preparation and the use of ingredients. Thank you very much for submitting. I rolled up the chicken like a jelly roll with ham and cheese slices laid out on the pounded chicken, maybe next time I’ll make a center roll of ham and cheese. I read the sauce and crumb comments. Every cook and kitchen has their preferences, right? This is French Country cooking, not Haute Cuisine.
Made these many times. The rolls are a hit, but the sauce is just ok. Despite the sour cream and lemon juice (which I’ve tried doubling and it’s a little better), it still just tastes like cheap, canned cream of chicken soup, and the texture isn’t great. Now I use just packets of Knorr Hollandaise sauce, prepare according to package directions, and use in place of the sauce. Just as easy to make, and WAY better in my opinion. Make plenty of Hollandaise and serve with asparagus.
So easy. So yummy! Next time I’ll add a bit more lemon juice to the sauce.
I used chicken thighs, did not use the sauce and cooked it another 5 minutes. This is really good.
This was excellent. We had a friend coming over who can’t eat gluten so this was great because it uses cornflakes instead of panko/breadcrumbs. I used Jarlsberg Swiss cheese and yes, it did leak out a bit because I wasn’t adept enough to get all the ends tucked in tight, but it still tasted great. Will definitely make again even when gluten isn’t a factor.
Made us last night everyone enjoyed it this is one recipe I will not forget to make loved it but forgot take a picture next time
A good recipe for a fast dinner. I prefer a homemade sauce but this worked well in a pinch. The chicken roll ups were delicious. I added a little milk to the sauce to thin it out a bit.
this recipe is amazing and so delish
I love this recipe super simple to do. I didn’t have cornflakes or bread crumbs so I just did it without breading. I also added some white cooking wine in the sauce.
Delicious recipe, few changes. Cook at 350 for 30 mins. Add a little bit of honey Dijon mustard to the sauce and a splash of milk to thin this.
Review Edit: amazing Just popped in the oven I’m using different parts from this recipe and another recipe and creating a whole new way to make this I used mozzarella and swiss cheese alternating in the pocket and also on top of the bread crumbs will add pictures when done
Turned out good. I didn’t pound the chicken thin enough. Since I don’t like swiss cheese I used a mixer of cheeses and that’s not a good idea. I also cooked in a tube solar oven and that made it turn out very moist and flavorful.
Delicious! We both loved this recipe!!
I used panko bread crumbs instead of corn flakes because that’s all I had and I thought it was very tasty. Didn’t change anything else…
EX!!!!! I made as written with no changes and it turned out to be very easy to do and most of all very tasty.. I will be making this recipe often ….. Thank you for this great recipe…..
Taste is excellent. Have made it a number of times, but do not know how to prevent the cheese from oozing out and keep the meat from opening/unrolling. Tried just about everything, including toothpicks.
I just loved it. Simple to make an yummy.. The whole family went mad about it
My wife said it was delicious. Definitely having this again
