Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Sharp Knife
- Toothpicks
- 1 kitchen tongs
Ingredients
- 6 boneless chicken thighs
- 2.5 ounces ham 70 g
- 3.5 ounces cheese 100 g
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken:
- If your chicken thighs are not already boneless, carefully debone them by cutting around the bone with a sharp knife. Keep the skin on for extra flavor and moisture. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. For more flavor, you can season the chicken the day before and let it marinate in the fridge.
Fill and Roll:
- Lay the ham and cheese evenly on top of each seasoned chicken thigh. Roll them up and secure with toothpicks to keep everything in place.
Bake:
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the rolled-up chicken thighs on the tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. If your chicken is larger or thicker, you may need to extend the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.
Serve:
- Remove the toothpicks before serving. Pair the chicken with your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
