Christmas Stilton & Chicken Roulade Recipe

Tony Blake, former chef and now Commercial Director here at Q Catering, has created a recipe for Christmas Stilton & Chicken Roulade made with our Fresh Chicken Fillets. The Christmas Stilton & Chicken Roulade is an elegant and flavourful dish, perfect for festive gatherings.

Tender chicken breasts are filled with a luxurious blend of creamy Stilton cheese, spinach, and fragrant herbs. Once rolled into a delicate roulade, each piece is wrapped in prosciutto, adding a rich, smoky flavour. Baked until golden and juicy, the roulades are then sliced to reveal the beautiful, festive filling inside. This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables and a drizzle of tangy cranberry sauce, offering a sophisticated yet comforting Christmas meal.
