Chicken Roulade Stuffed With Caramelized Onions, Cottage Cheese & Sweet Potato.

This is one of those dishes I made up as I went along. I decided to add coloring to my breadcrumbs & the result was pretty amazing, an orange crumbed chicken? Who would've thought of that? Not many people like cottage cheese, mixing it with sweet potato & some seasoning, it's actually a delicious match. I served this dish with my lemon butter cream & left Over baked potato Salad, I usually serve it alongside some crunchy green beans just to give the dish a bit more texture.

This is a must try, everyone loved it & i'm sure you will too!
