Chicken Rolled Roast with Wild Garlic Pesto Ham and Cheese
Pane-Bistecca
This chicken roll roast with wild garlic pesto ham and cheese is actually really easy to make, can be prepared well ahead and is even easy to transport. I did this when my daughter was stressed and there wasn’t enough time to come to our house for dinner. I simply packed everything up, bought a train ticket and went there.
This wild garlic goes by a handful of names—ramsons, or “bärlauch” in German, wild garlic, bear’s garlic. It’s a relative of chives that grows wild. With an aroma—and taste—that’s a cross between garlic and onion, they’re hard to miss when you come across them. Popular for sauteeing, in soups, and in stir-fries, ramsons are a close cousin to ramps, which grow wild in North American in the spring, have a similar taste, and are prized by chefs for their versatility, taste, and seasonality.

10 thin slices Raclette Cheese

Instructions
1
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts down the middle without cutting all the way through to create a large cutlet. Lay these out on cling film, covered with cling film, and pound flat.
2
Step 2
Then lay the cutlets out on new cling film so that they form a rectangle.

Step 3
Spread a thick layer of wild garlic pesto on the rectangle, then place the ham slices on top, followed by the cheese slices.

Step 4
Now pull the top of the cling film down so that the roast rolls up, place it in a cake tin (I have a glass one) with the seam facing downwards and season the top and brush with a little olive oil.

Step 5
Roast in the oven at 200 C degrees for 1 hour.
The cheese melts and makes a fine sauce.
Notes
A very delicious and easy roast!
