Gratin chicken bundles are an alternative way to enjoy chicken breast. They are stuffed only with cooked ham, but they can be enriched with sautéed mushrooms and cheese or replace the cooked ham with speck or mortadella. There are many variations for stuffing them, it’s just a matter of taste. These gratin chicken bundles can also be cooked in the air fryer. Available in gluten-free and lactose-free versions.
