Chicken Cannelloni – Recipe – How to Make Chicken Cannelloni

Chicken cannelloni is a classic Italian dish, known for its delicious flavor and versatility. The filling can be customized with various ingredients and prepared in multiple ways to suit different tastes.

Servings: 4 to 5 people.

Ingredients:

Chicken Cannelloni

 

  • 5 cups plain yogurt

  • 2 cups flour

  • 2 teaspoons soft butter

  • 1 cup cheese

  • 1 kg boiled chicken

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon white pepper

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

Preparation:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, 1½ cups yogurt, and the eggs. Whisk until smooth and well blended to form a batter.

  2. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Pour in just enough batter to cover the base of the pan, cooking for about 2 minutes until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip and cook the other side until golden.

  3. Repeat this process with the remaining batter to make all the cannelloni sheets. Set them aside on a large flat plate.

  4. To prepare the béchamel sauce, melt the remaining 1 teaspoon butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup flour and stir until smooth. Gradually add 4 cups yogurt, along with 1 teaspoon salt, the pepper varieties, and coriander. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.

  5. Mix the chopped chicken with 1 cup of the béchamel sauce and ½ cup cheese.

  6. Lay out each cannelloni sheet and fill with the chicken-and-cheese mixture. Roll each sheet tightly and place them in a baking dish.

  7. Pour the remaining béchamel sauce over the rolled cannelloni, then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese on top.

  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

  9. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Bon appétit!
