Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Flatten the chicken thighs with a meat mallet to an even thickness. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Coconut-Chili Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk and chili paste. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cashew Filling

    Chop the cashews and mix them with chopped preserved lemon and finely diced watermelon radish. Season with a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Roulade

    Place the cashew mixture on the flattened chicken thighs and roll them tightly. Secure with kitchen twine.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Sear the Roulades

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken roulades for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Bake the Roulades

    Transfer the seared roulades to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

  3. 7

    Prepare the Smashed Cucumbers

    While the roulades are baking, smash the cucumbers with the flat side of a knife, sprinkle with salt and fresh herbs, and set aside.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the roulades and serve with coconut-chili sauce drizzled over the top. Add the smashed cucumbers and garnish with additional herbs.
