Smokey Pomegranate Chicken Roulade stuffed with smokey cheddar, Canadian bacon, and basil is tasty, easy, and beautiful! Not to mention that this is art on a plate. Stunning to look at but even more fun to eat and delight your tummy. Needless to say, it can even be served when you are expecting company. Elegant and budget-friendly. Furthermore, it is so pretty you could serve for a birthday or even the holidays. Chicken Roulade on a plate with pomegranate glaze around it.

What is the best way to preserve Pomegranates?

Crack them open and remove the Arils (seeds) and lay them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet then place them in the freezer overnight. Finally, remove and place the Arils into a freezer bag and freeze. While pomegranates are beautiful and tasty they also make a great edible decoration. In fact, they are one of my favorite things to use to decorate my food.

Not only that but they also give any bite a bit of texture and crunch. In all honesty, food for me is very visual it should first be eaten with your eyes, secondly there should be a texture component and thirdly it needs to incorporate one of the 5 flavors such as sweet, sour, salty, and sour or spicy. However, if pomegranates are not in season top with Small Batch Lingonberry Jam.

Smokey Pomegranate Chicken Roulade Notes

While this dinner is very easy to prepare and is appealing to the eye. In all honesty, I used fresh pomegranates but if you can’t find fresh ones to decorate with try using frozen. In any case, you can use freshly juiced Pomegranate juice or store-bought whichever you prefer. As always, read the ingredients list on any item you purchase. Incredibly, I found Canadian Bacon I could eat at a local health food store. I had my chicken with roasted mashed butternut squash.

To tell the truth, this meal looked so pretty it would be a great meal for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or even date night. Although this may look complicated it is very easy. Simply pound out the chicken until thin, then lay down a slice or two of smokey cheddar, Canadian Bacon, basil, and a small slice of red onion at last roll it up. Admittedly the last thing is to decorate with some torn basil leaves and pomegranate arils. Not only is this dish elegant but due to the fact it’s chicken, it is also economical.

Nevertheless, if you are looking for Pomegranate Juice it can be found on Amazon.
