Instructions

Greek Tomato Sauce

  • Begin by heating the oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Next, add in the vegetables and soften for 5 - 7 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then, add in the tomato paste and cook out the bitterness for 2 minutes or so. Next, add in the spices and cook for 1 minute.
  • Pour in the wine and water and cook until it reduces in half. Next, add in the crushed tomatoes, the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let it simmer for 10 minutes. Finish by adding in the fresh herbs. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Now it is ready for serving.

Greek Chicken Roulade

  • Butterfly the chicken breasts cutting them horizontally.  Spice both sides of the chicken breasts with all the spices.
  • Lay the chicken out on a board.  Top with a few pieces of spinach and then top with the feta cheese.  Start to make the roulade by rolling from the small end until fully rolled up. Take butcher twine and tie up the breasts.
  • Begin by searing the breasts in a skillet until brown on each side.  Place in a 350 degree oven and cook for 25 - 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve with herb rice and top with the tomato sauce.
  • Enjoy!
