  • Chicken roll with green olives

❤️ Why You'll Love It

This is an easy recipe for chicken roll, made with ground chicken -but, you are welcome of course to make it with ground turkey/beef or a combination- and stuffed with my kids favorite type of pickles, green olives, so choose whatever your kids like and stuff it in there, they will eat this roll happily. Shaping this into a log, and slicing it like deli meat, encouraged them to try it and made them more willing to accept the taste!!

👍 Amira's Tips

This is a really simple and easy to make recipe for ground chicken, I've added a little bit of cream cheese in it to make it rich but you are more than welcome to skip it. I've also sauteed the onions for a minute or two so it will not be that obvious for my kids, for the garlic I've added it after turning the heat of , as I wanted to serve this for breakfast or lunch so I do not want it to taste like kofta (kifta). If serving this for dinner, I recommend searing the slices or lightly grilling them on stove top. I hope you'll like this recipe and you'll try it out. Now I'll leave you with the recipe.

👩‍🏫 My Personal Experience

Last night my husband came back from Egypt, he was there for a quick visit for family matters. So the night before, my eldest came up with a suggestion " why don't we try to make a surprise for dad to cheer him up?", then I said ok I am all ears.

Eldest: We can buy him a German chocolate cake, he loves this cake so much.

Middle kid: Hmm, dad loves programming, why don't we buy him a software for programming that is unlimited?, and I still do not know the meaning of the unlimited part 😎

Now for my youngest brilliant thinker: Why don't we take him to the Good Dinosaur Movie? Hahaha

And after that, he got wild on ideas, like, or taking him to Florida to watch the Dolphin show? May be buying him doughnuts, taking him to Krispy Kreme, Chuck E. Cheese's .... and his list went on and on. Of course by now you figured out whose list is this? It is his list of favorite things 😀, starting with dinosaurs and dolphins and ending with chocolate and pizza. Taking him to a pizza place or eating doughnuts really means a lot to him/them, their dreams are simple but their imagination is limitless.

Although I was tempted so much to buy cakes and doughnut and all these sugary stuff or may be taking him to dine out, I then firmly, said no, no sweets we need to cut back our consumption of sugar and processed food. Hence we only made a simple hearty meal for daddy to welcome him home along with some beautiful roses 💐 to cheer him up.

Do not get me wrong, I am not against indulging in such things, but recently these things seemed to show up more often in our home and I have a goal of cleaning up my family's bodies and helping them choose wisely what they put in there. Then may be from time to time, we can get naughty and enjoy the non healthy options out there.

  • 2 lb ground chicken.
  • ¼ cup cream cheese.
  • 3 garlic cloves - crushed.
  • 1 small yellow onion- chopped.
  • 2 Tablespoon flour.
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil.
  • 1 teaspoon salt - or to your taste.
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom powder.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  • ½ teaspoon paprika.
  • ½ teaspoon ginger powder.
  • ¼ cup of green olives.

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine ground chicken, spices, onion and garlic and mix well.
  • In your food processor mix the cream cheese with part of the ground chicken mixture, then add to the whole patch of ground chicken and combine well.
  • Add the flour and mix well. Using parchment paper, spread the ground meat mixture, add olive oil in the middle then roll to form a log, wrap in another piece of foil, twisting ends to secure.
  • In a deep pot over high heat, add water - enough to cover the log- along with cardamom pods and bay leaved, then bring to a boil.
  • When water boils, add the chicken roll and reduce heat to medium. Let it cook until done, will take about 45 minutes.
  • Take the log out of water, let it cool and unwrap.
  • When the log is cooled completely, slice and serve.
  • Store leftovers in a container in the fridge, you can serve cold or re-heat and serve.
  • Great for sandwiches and side dished.

      Thanks Henna for commenting, I guess you can wrap it and bake it in the oven as well, but boiling with herbs is the thing for me.

    I agree with Lorraine -- this is a bit like mortadella! Love the idea of this -- so creative. Thanks so much.

    I've never thought to make this myself! I'm guessing it would taste like a cross between pressed chicken and mortadella. How clever you are! 😀
