Full Recipe:
Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
600g chicken breast or thighs (thighs will make it juicier)
4-5 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried garlic
100g hard cheese (cut into small cubes)
For Baking:
Roasting sleeve
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Cut the Chicken:
Cut the chicken into small cubes (around 1 cm in size) to ensure even cooking and marinating.
Marinate the Chicken:
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Add 4-5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried garlic.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, making sure the chicken is well-coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful the sausage will be.
Step 2: Add Cheese to the Chicken
Cut the Cheese:
Dice the hard cheese into small cubes, about the same size as the chicken pieces, to ensure even distribution throughout the sausage.
Mix the Chicken and Cheese:
Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and add the diced cheese. Mix thoroughly to ensure the cheese is evenly spread throughout the chicken.
Step 3: Prepare the Sausage for Baking
Prepare the Roasting Sleeve:
Cut the roasting sleeve lengthwise to open it up. This will make it easier to fill and shape the sausage.
Form the Sausage:
Place the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of the roasting sleeve. Shape the mixture into a sausage-like form, making sure it is compact.
Once shaped, carefully roll the sleeve around the chicken mixture and twist or clip the ends to seal it tightly. Ensure there are no gaps for juices to escape during baking.
Step 4: Bake the Sausage
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the Chicken Sausage:
Place the wrapped sausage on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The sausage should be fully cooked, with the cheese melted and the chicken tender.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Cool the Sausage:
After baking, remove the sausage from the oven and let it cool completely in the sleeve. This helps the sausage retain its shape and allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve:
Once cooled, carefully remove the sausage from the roasting sleeve. Slice the sausage into rounds and serve as a cold appetizer or warm main dish. It pairs well with salads, vegetables, or a side of bread.
Cooking Tips:
Marinating Time: For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer it marinates, the more intense and flavorful the dish will be.
Cheese Selection: Hard cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or Swiss are ideal for this recipe as they melt well and add a creamy texture to the sausage.
