Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine deep-fried chicken roulade that had my family literally fighting over the last piece! This isn’t your basic fried chicken – we’re taking it to a whole new level of sophistication that’ll make you feel like a celebrity chef in your own kitchen.
Picture this: tender chicken breast, pounded thin and stuffed with a heavenly combination of spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and creamy goat cheese, all rolled up and coated in a perfectly seasoned crispy crust. Trust me, your taste buds are about to do a happy dance! 💃
What You’ll Need:
– 4 chicken breasts
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
– 4 oz goat cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups flour
– 3 eggs, beaten
– 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
– Oil for frying
– Your favorite seasonings (I use my secret blend of paprika, garlic powder, and Italian herbs)
Okay, let’s get cooking, bestie! First, butterfly those chicken breasts and pound them thin – it’s a great stress reliever, by the way! Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Now, mix your spinach, tomatoes, goat cheese, and garlic. Spread this mixture over each chicken breast, leaving a border around the edges. Roll these babies up tight like a sleeping bag and secure with toothpicks.
Set up your dredging station: flour, beaten eggs, and seasoned panko. Dip each roll in flour, then egg, then panko. Make sure it’s well-coated – we want that CRUNCH!
Heat your oil to 350°F (if you don’t have a thermometer, drop a breadcrumb in – if it sizzles, you’re good to go!). Carefully place your chicken rolls in the oil and fry until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Let them rest on paper towels for a few minutes – I know it’s hard to wait, but trust your girl on this one! Slice them diagonally to show off that gorgeous spiral of goodness inside.
Y’all, this dish is seriously Instagram-worthy! The outside is perfectly crispy, and when you cut into it… _chef’s kiss_ That cheese just oozes out in the most satisfying way!
