About Stuffed chicken roll

Stuffed chicken roll is a versatile dish commonly found in Mediterranean, European, and American cuisines. It involves chicken breast that is flattened, filled with various ingredients like spinach, cheese, vegetables, or herbs, and then rolled, secured, and baked or pan-seared. This dish is rich in lean protein from the chicken, alongside additional nutrients from its stuffing, which can vary based on recipes. A single serving (approximately 150g) of stuffed chicken roll typically provides about 30-35 grams of protein, with 200-300 calories depending on the filling and cooking method. It is low in carbohydrates and provides essential vitamins such as B6 from the chicken and vitamin A or iron from common spinach fillings, making it a nutrient-dense option for many diets.

Common Questions About Stuffed chicken roll Nutrition

Is stuffed chicken roll high in protein?

Can I eat stuffed chicken roll on a keto or low-carb diet?

Stuffed chicken rolls can be compatible with a keto or low-carb diet if the filling excludes breadcrumbs, starchy ingredients, or sugary sauces. Opt for low-carb fillings like spinach, cheese, or cream for a keto-friendly version.

What are the health benefits or concerns of eating stuffed chicken roll?

Stuffed chicken rolls are a good source of lean protein, vitamins like B6, and minerals like niacin. However, some recipes can be high in saturated fat and sodium, especially if cheese, processed meat, or heavy sauces are used in the filling. Opting for fresh and minimally processed ingredients can make it a healthier choice.

What is a recommended portion size for stuffed chicken roll?

A single stuffed chicken roll (about 5-6 ounces) is generally considered a standard portion size, providing a good balance of protein and calories for a meal. Pair it with non-starchy vegetables or a small serving of whole grains for a complete, balanced meal.

How does stuffed chicken roll compare to other chicken dishes?

Compared to plain grilled chicken, stuffed chicken rolls often have more calories and fats due to the rich fillings and sauces. However, they can be more flavorful and versatile. Preparing it at home allows control over ingredients for a healthier alternative to pre-packaged versions.
