Healthy Quinoa Stuffed Chicken Roll-Ups Recipe

Although chicken roulades are more common, you can make this dish using turkey breast as well. Follow the same steps for a lean, Thanksgiving-style meal. The finished product will look beautiful on the table and the nutrition profile with this protein swap won't be significantly different.

Heartburn-friendly recipes often use lemon or orange zest to get citrus-like flavor without any of the acidity that lemon or orange juice would provide. You can use orange zest instead of lemon in this recipe if you prefer.

Get creative with your veggie stuffing. Asparagus is a common choice in roulades—just 2 spears would be enough for each breast. If it's in season, use it instead of the broccoli stems.

A steamer basket is the easiest way to steam veggies—simply bring water to a boil and then place the basket over the pot with the veggies inside. Cook covered for a few minutes.

There's also an easy way to thin out the chicken breast: a meat tenderizer. This hammer-like tool is often used to pound various cuts of beef and poultry. Simply place the chicken breast in a plastic bag or between two sheets of clear plastic wrap and pound it to the desired thinness. Don't over-focus on one spot—make sure you pound evenly throughout.

This roulade is flavorful and strong on its own. It doesn't need an extravagant side dish; simply serve alongside a light salad. You can also serve it with a honey mustard drizzle. Combine one tablespoon Greek yogurt with one teaspoon honey, one teaspoon yellow mustard, and one teaspoon water. Divide the mixture between the two breasts (each one will get about one tablespoon of sauce).
