I’ve been wanting to make these crispy cheesy chicken roll-ups since forever. I’m finally getting to it!

What’s better than slicing into hot, crispy chicken to reveal a savoury, cheesy, melty filling? I decided to stuff these gems with baby spinach and Perfect Italiano’s Mozzarella and Parmesan Grated Cheese for that awesome stretchy texture and yummy cheesy taste. I added green chili padi to it for extra oomph – they’re not really spicy. If I could find Jalapenos, I would use them!

To make these, all you need to do is: sauté baby spinach till wilted then combine with sour cream, garlic powder, dill, salt, Perfect Italiano Mozzarella and Parmesan Grated Cheese, then spread the mixture on chicken breast. Roll up and dip in egg, flour and breadcrumbs. Fry till golden. Savour!

These were done in 30 minutes from start to finish. I’m a fan of simple, no-frills recipe which calls for minimal ingredients. It’s a bonus that Perfect Italiano’s cheeses pack so much punch that very little seasoning is needed to flavour your dish.

I like to combine both their Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese into a dish because they complement each other so well. Perfect Italiano’s Mozzarella Grated Cheese is mild flavoured and has a stretchy nature. It melts wonderfully to create the savoury texture my family loves. The Parmesan Grated Cheese has a sharp and savoury taste which balances the Mozzarella perfectly. I usually do a 1:3 Parmesan to Mozzarella ratio in my recipes.

Pizza is the main food group of my two pesky little brothers. They can eat it any time of the day! They say that pizza is a well-balanced diet with carbs (pizza base), veggies (tomato sauce and vegetable toppings), protein (chicken meat, bacon or ham), calcium (cheese) and lots of vitamins. Ok, I can’t disagree with that!

At home, I often come up with easy meals to feed the whole family. Jason is a big fan of pizza, especially no-frills ones like Pizza Margherita or Three Cheese Pizzas. He loves the simplicity of fresh tomato base with tasty cheese, and I agree with him that good quality cheese topping is really essential in bringing out the fresh flavours of a simple pizza.

For this recipe, I chose Perfect Italiano’s Pizza Plus, a superior blend of three delicious types of cheeses: Mozzarella, Parmesan and Cheddar. Mozzarella gives us the super-stretchy texture we’re all familiar with while Parmesan and Cheddar add delightful flavour to our homemade pizza.

I used pumpkin and zucchini as the main toppings as their subtle sweetness and slight crunch doesn’t overwhelm and is a perfect accompaniment to the flavourful cheese. I added a bit of bacon for that extra flavour, but this recipe is great already without it, super if you wish to sneak some vegetables into your kids’ diet!

And if you know me, I am someone who invariably opts for quick and nutritious meals at home, which is why I decided to go with ready-made wheat pita bread as the pizza base. I like the pocket in the middle as compared to a full-on dough base as it puffs up slightly in the oven for a more delightful texture. If you can’t get freshly baked pita from a nearby bakery, you can get them at the supermarket, along where you’d find bread and wraps. Do what works for you and your family and please don’t feel obliged to make everything from scratch. Cooking should be a stress-reliever, not a stressful affair!

Before we know it, we’re into the last two months of 2015. And that means TWO things: HOLIDAY MOOD and FESTIVE FOOD!

The months of November and December are special to my family. With six birthdays and one holiday (my 76-year-old aunt is a Christmas Eve baby!), we are constantly celebrating and eating. And as with all our birthdays and Christmas gatherings, having good food ranks right up there on our agenda – along with the mountain of presents, of course!

This year, I’ve decided to make something new using Perfect Italiano cheese. Perfect Italiano cheese are my family’s favourite. Simple and effortless to use, they transform your everyday meals into gourmet creations perfect for the festive table!

Today, I have a recipe for Tuna, Spinach & Potato Frittata, which uses both Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Perfect Italiano Mozzarella Cheese has a mild flavour, melts to perfection and has a traditional stretch, perfect for topping my frittata with. Perfect Italiano Parmesan Cheese is matured up to 18 months – which explains its bold, sharp and savoury taste. I like to use it in egg dishes to complement the light flavour. It works wonderfully every time.

This recipe is adapted from Perfect Italiano‘s website, which is full of easy-to-follow recipes to inspire you this festive season. My version is a little easy on the palate, without cream and gravy, but if you prefer a heavier taste, you can add half a bottle of creamy alfredo sauce just before topping it with cheese.
