Chicken Roulade with Orange Vinaigrette Salad

This month, I’ll be posting some Christmas related recipes, or rather, holiday recipes. Sweet or savoury, main dishes or sides, cookies or drinks.. Some can feed many, some are for smaller families. It won’t be the typical holiday recipes tho, some may have a little twist to it. So do keep an eye and if you have any holiday recipes to share, do.

*Giveaway coming soon…. Stay tuned.

Usually for Christmas, there’s always a roast turkey (or chicken at least). But there are times where you may be on a budget, or maybe you’re just preparing a dinner for two and a turkey is insanely too much! This chicken roulade is not a typical Christmas-y dish, but u get the gist, poultry + stuffings.

Simple to make, yet impressive enough (for people that don’t know how to cook lol) Orange segments are added into the salad, vibrant colours and fresh flavours. You can play around with the stuffings and add some herbs or maybe even some dried cranberries!

Roll them tight!

Or not…
