Curry can be spicy so be careful on which curry powder you decide to go with. Any curry powder will work for this recipe, hot, spicy, and even sweet.
Juicy Chicken Thigh Rolls!
You read that name correctly. With chicken thighs, your favorite veggies, and dried fruits, this is definitely a creative dish. It is more efficient to cook in the oven however; you can use a stove as well.
- ＜Ingredients＞(For 4-5 People)
-
・Two chicken thighs
・A little salt pepper
- ＜Stuffing＞
-
・Raw shiitake (medium) 6-8
・4 dry figs (soft type)
・1/2 carrot
・ 1/2 tbsp butter
・ Cooking String
- ＜How to Make!＞
-
1. Melt butter in a frying pan and slice the umbrella of your mushrooms in toss them in as well. You’ll want to cut the heat once the mushrooms become soft. Cut dry figs into 1-square pieces and carrots into slices and match with shiitake mushrooms.
2. Cut open the thicken thighs with a sharp knife and try to make it as uniform as possible. You can also prevent shrinkage by making a few holes with a fork in the meat.
3. Spread the chicken thighs over wrap, and add the veggies we described in step one just like the image below. Be sure to place them in the most center of the chicken meat to prevent them from spilling out when you roll.
4. Use the wrap to help roll the piece together and the cooking thread to hold it together. It’s kind of like making sushi only on a large scale with chicken thighs as a substitute to sashimi!
5. Plate the results and apply salt and pepper. From there preheat your oven to 190 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.
After baking, wrap the surface with aluminum foil and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
6. Cut into sizes that are easy to eat and you’re done!
For those who aren’t a big fan of mushrooms, you can switch these out with a vegetable of your choosing!
