Ingredients

Chicken Mqalli roulades with olives Preserved lemons Red olives Toasted almond slivers Fresh chopped parsley

Steps To Follow

1 Reheat the roulades: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).  Remove the Chicken Mqalli roulades from their vacuum packaging and place them on a baking sheet.Bake the roulades for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are hot and slightly golden.
2 Reheat the sauce: Pour the separated Mqalli sauce into a small saucepan. Heat it over low heat, stirring regularly to prevent sticking.
3 Plate the dish: On a serving plate, arrange the reheated chicken roulades. Generously pour the hot Mqalli sauce around and over the roulades to coat them with flavor.
4 Decoration and finishing: Add preserved lemon slices on top of the roulades for visual appeal and a tangy taste.      Arrange a few green olives around the plate.      Sprinkle the roulades with toasted almond slivers for a crunchy texture. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for added color and freshness.
