Bacon and cheese rolls in the oven are a simple and delicious dish that will decorate the table and diversify the menu. Italian cuisine has given the world many recipes for appetizers and various rolls. Some of the most delicious and juicy are stuffed meat rolls. They are made from chicken breast with processed cheese, bacon and spices. The main thing is to choose fresh and high-quality products. Chicken fillet should be light pink in color, uniform in consistency, and bacon without foreign odors and yellow spots.

How to cook Bacon Rolls

Step 1

Prepare the meat for the rolls. Cut the chicken breast into thin longitudinal pieces, like for chops. Beat the meat with a kitchen hammer, but very carefully so as not to damage the fibers. Cover the baking sheet with foil. Lay the chicken fillets overlapping each other to form one continuous layer of breast. Add salt, pepper and spices to taste. Grate the garlic on a fine grater and spread it over the surface of the meat layer.

Step 2

Prepare the roll. Place cheese slices on a layer of chicken fillet to cover the entire surface as much as possible. Roll the meat with the filling into a roll. Line the surface of the roll with thin slices of bacon and add spices. Wrap the roll in foil and pinch the edges tightly. Preheat the oven to 180 ˚C. Bake the roll for 35 minutes. Cut the finished roll into portions.

Bacon Rolls - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use turkey breast instead of chicken breast for this recipe?

Yes, turkey breast works well as a lean alternative to chicken. Adjust cooking time slightly if needed, as turkey may cook faster due to its thickness.

What cheeses can I substitute if I don't have sliced cheese?

Shredded mozzarella, provolone, or even cream cheese spread thinly are great substitutes. Just ensure even coverage for proper melting.

How do I make this recipe low-carb or keto-friendly?

The recipe is already low-carb! Just verify your bacon and cheese brands contain no added sugars. Serve with a side salad for balance.

Can I prepare bacon rolls ahead of time and bake later?

Absolutely! Assemble the rolls, wrap tightly in foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5-10 minutes to cooking time if chilled.

How should I store leftovers, and how long do they last?

Store cooled portions in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.

Can I freeze bacon rolls for later use?

Yes! Wrap the unbaked roll (or baked slices) tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking/reheating.

What sides pair well with bacon rolls?

Try roasted vegetables, garlic mashed cauliflower, or a crisp green salad. The rolls also make great appetizers sliced thinly.

How can I prevent the bacon from becoming too greasy?

Pat bacon slices dry before wrapping, and bake the roll on a rack over a tray to allow excess fat to drip away.

My roll fell apart when slicing—how can I fix this?

Chill the baked roll for 15 minutes before slicing, and use a sharp serrated knife with gentle sawing motions for clean cuts.
