How to cook Baked chicken breasts with prunes and nuts

Step 1

Prunes cut into pieces, pour cognac and heat in the microwave. Mix with nuts, cheese, garlic.

Step 2

Beat the chicken fillet, lay out the filling, salt and pepper. Roll up and wrap in foil (sausage). Refrigerate for a few hours (if you don't intend to cook right away). Or send it to the micro for 1 minute (they will "grab" and there will be no need to tie them with threads or chip them off with skewers). Grease the form with oil, remove the rolls from the film and place in the form. Pour cream, sprinkle with cheese, nuts and pour over (preferably peanut) butter.

Step 3

Bake for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 200-210 ° C. When serving, cut into pieces and pour over the thickened sauce.

Baked chicken breasts with prunes and nuts - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the cognac with something else?

Yes, you can use prune juice, apple juice, or even strong brewed tea as a non-alcoholic substitute for cognac. These will still provide moisture and enhance the flavor of the prunes.

What kind of nuts work best in this recipe?

Walnuts, pecans, or almonds are excellent choices for this recipe. Feel free to use a mix of your favorite nuts for a more complex flavor. Just make sure they are somewhat chopped.

How long can I store the baked chicken leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

Can I freeze these chicken rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the cooked chicken rolls. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator before reheating.

What can I serve with these chicken breasts?

These chicken breasts pair well with roasted vegetables (like asparagus or broccoli), mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, or a simple green salad.

How can I adjust the recipe for fewer servings?

Simply halve or quarter the ingredients proportionally to make a smaller batch. The cooking time should remain the same, but check for doneness a few minutes earlier.

Can I use a different type of cheese for the filling and topping?

Yes, you can substitute the cheese. Cream cheese, goat cheese, or even a shredded mozzarella would work well depending on your personal preference.

Is there a way to make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, substitute the cream with coconut cream or another plant-based cream alternative. Also, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese substitute.

How can I ensure the chicken is cooked through properly?

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken roll.
