Chicken Curry Lefse Roll


Yesterday evening I was lazy to cook, so I came up with this simple and easy to make chicken curry lefse roll.

Ingredients: (3 servings)
3 sheets 10"x 6" lefse
12 oz cooked chicken breast (diced) or 1 can (12 oz) chunk chicken
1 tsp curry powder
1/3 cup mayonese or spicy mayonese
1/3 cup finely diced celery
2 tbs finely diced onion
salt and pepper to taste

1) Combine chicken, curry powder, mayonese, celery, onion, salt and pepper together.

2) Spread curry chicken mixture over each lefse sheet to within 1/4 inch of edges.

3) Roll up each lefse, starting with the short side.

4) Using a knife cut each roll into 4 slices. Serve immediately.


Leena's tip: If the chicken mixture is too dry, add more mayonese.

Lefse is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread made out of potato, milk or cream and flour, and cooked on a griddle -- Wikipedia

Enjoy!!
