Chicken and Catupiry cheese are paired all over Rio (and all inside this book too!). Chicken and Minas cheese, on the other hand, not too often. Yet Minas cheese provides a lovely texture within the rolled chicken in this recipe. There is some work and technique involved, especially when it comes to butterflying and tying the chicken. I must confess I have never mastered the butcher’s way of using kitchen string, and the two ends of the chicken breast always suffer from my poor tying skills
