Paupiettes de Poulet are elegant French stuffed chicken rolls — thin chicken breast fillets wrapped around a savoury filling of herbs, cheese, and sometimes ham, then braised in a white wine sauce until tender. They look impressive but are surprisingly easy to make. Each golden roll reveals a beautiful spiral of filling when sliced.

👨‍🍳Chef's Notes

Use a Meat Thermometer

“The only reliable way to know chicken is safe and perfectly cooked is an instant-read thermometer. Pull at 74°C (165°F) in the thickest part. No guessing, no cutting into it and losing juices.”
