For Creamy Lemon Butter Sauce
Melt the Butter – In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until slightly bubbly.
Add Seasonings – Stir in 1 teaspoon chicken or beef powder and garlic powder, mixing well to infuse the flavors.
Pour in the Half & Half – Slowly add half and half, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.
Thicken the Sauce – In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup water with 3 teaspoons cornstarch until smooth. Gradually pour this into the saucepan while stirring. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
Add Lemon Juice – Turn off the heat and stir in the juice of 1 small lemon. Mix well to balance the creamy and tangy flavors.
Adjust Consistency – If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or half and half. If too thin, let it simmer a bit longer.
Serve – Drizzle over the sliced chicken roulade and enjoy!
Notes
Pound the chicken evenly – Ensures even cooking.
Don’t overstuff – Too much filling makes rolling tricky.
Use a meat thermometer – Ensures the perfect doneness.
Let it rest before slicing – Keeps juices inside the meat.
Secure with kitchen twine – Keeps everything intact.
