Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with the ham slices. Make sure to mix them well until they are evenly distributed.

In another bowl, blend the cream cheese and mayonnaise together using a whisk. Ensure the consistency is smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Assemble the Roll-Ups

On a flat surface, lay out the chicken mixture and spread it evenly to create a rectangle.

Next, spread the creamy sauce over the chicken layer, followed by an even distribution of the grated cheese.

Carefully roll the chicken mixture tightly into a cylinder shape, sealing the edges as you go. This will help keep the filling from spilling out during baking.

Step 3

Bake the Roll-Ups

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the roll-ups in a baking dish and cover with foil to retain moisture while cooking.

Bake the roll-ups for 40-50 minutes until they are nicely cooked through and golden. If using an air fryer, heat it to 180°C (350°F) and cook for 30-35 minutes.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Once done, allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before slicing into pieces. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack!

This dish pairs wonderfully with a light salad or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your cheesy chicken roll-ups!

Servings

These chicken rolls are perfect for any meal! Serve them hot straight from the oven 🍗🔥 and watch your loved ones smile. Pair them with a side of fresh salad 🥗 or roasted vegetables for a colorful plate that’s sure to impress. For an extra touch, offer a side of zesty dipping sauce or a tangy mustard — the flavor combinations are endless!

Planning a picnic? These rolls make for a fantastic handheld delight! Just slice them into bite-sized pieces and pack them in your basket, and you'll have a delightful dish that's both easy to transport and absolutely tasty!

Faq

  • How do I know when the chicken rolls are done cooking?

    Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C). Also, look for a golden-brown crust on the outside!

  • Can I prepare these rolls in advance?

    Absolutely! You can assemble them ahead of time and refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if they go in cold.

  • What can I use if I don’t have ham?

    You can swap the ham for turkey or any deli meat you prefer; you can even use cooked bacon for a tasty alternative!

  • Is there a way to ensure my rolls stay fresh?

    After baking, let them cool completely before wrapping them in paper or suitable containers. Store them in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage!

  • What is the best way to reheat leftover chicken rolls?

    To keep them crispy, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through.

  • Can I add more vegetables to my roll?

    Of course! Feel free to incorporate sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor. Just be mindful of moisture to avoid sogginess!
