Kids in the Kitchen: Chicken Roulade with Basil & Cheddar Recipe

May 27, 2015

This recipe is as fun to make as it is delicious, and that’s exactly why my kids love making it with me!

One of the best things about making a chicken roulade is that you can fill it with essentially any flavors you like—or that your kids like. This chicken roulade with basil recipe is the brainchild of my eleven-year-old son who is a big basil fan. My nine-year-old son once made one that was reminiscent of pizza—tomato sauce, mozzarella, and, yes, pepperoni. The possibilities are endless—ask your kids what they’d like in theirs and have them help put it all together.
