Meat Rolls
Meat Rolls are a flavorful, low-carb snack or meal made from brined deli chicken, creamy homemade mayo, and melty cheese. These rolls are complemented by the zesty crunch of fridge pickles—a quick, easy-to-make homemade pickle that adds a refreshing tang and an extra layer of flavor. These rolls are perfect for those looking for a satisfying, keto-friendly bite or a fun appetizer to enjoy with minimal effort.
Ingredients & Benefits:
Brined Deli Chicken
Benefit: Brined deli chicken is rich in protein, low in fat (depending on the cut), and provides essential vitamins and minerals like B vitamins (particularly niacin and B6), phosphorus, and selenium. The brining process helps retain moisture and enhances the flavor of the chicken, making it tender and delicious.
Homemade Mayo
Benefit: Homemade mayo is a creamy, satisfying spread made with healthy fats (typically from olive oil or avocado oil). It’s free from additives or preservatives found in store-bought versions and provides a good source of omega-3s (when made with a quality oil). It's perfect for binding the meat rolls together and adding richness.
Cheese
Benefit: Cheese provides high-quality protein and a good amount of calcium, which supports bone health. Depending on your choice of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, etc.), you also get additional benefits like healthy fats, vitamin A, and vitamin K2 (which is important for heart health). It adds a savory, melty texture to the meat rolls.
Fridge Pickles (Pickling Cucumbers, Apple Cider Vinegar, Dill, Redmond Fine Salt, Filtered Water)
Benefit: Homemade fridge pickles are a tangy, flavorful addition to the rolls that offer several health benefits.
Pickling Cucumbers are low in calories, high in water content, and provide a good source of vitamin K.
Apple Cider Vinegar has been shown to support digestion, balance blood sugar levels, and aid in detoxification.
Dill has antioxidant properties and is known to help reduce bloating and digestive discomfort.
Redmond Fine Salt enhances the flavors and provides essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, supporting hydration and muscle function.
Filtered Water ensures that your pickles are crisp and refreshing without any impurities or chlorine found in tap water.
