Welcome to the tasty world of chicken rolls! These delicious dishes are not only easy to make, but also a visual and tasty feast that brings family and friends to the table. Chicken rolls are a versatile recipe, perfect for an elegant dinner or a quick lunch. So let's get to work!

Basic ingredients:

- 2 chicken breasts (about 500g)
- 100-150 g grated cheese (choose a good quality cheese for an intense taste)
- 4 slices Prague ham (or other favorite ham)
- 1 gogosar (or bell pepper for a touch of freshness)
- 200 g sliced mushrooms (champignon mushrooms are the most affordable, but you can experiment with other types)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 100 g flour (for a crispy crust)
- 2 eggs (beaten, for a delicious coating)
- Frying oil (sunflower or olive oil is ideal)

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Chicken breast preparation: Wash the chicken breasts under cold running water, then pat dry with a paper towel. Slice each chicken breast into four thin slices, similar to sausage. This step is crucial for tender, well-cooked rolls. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken slices lightly, evenly, until they become filling.

2. Season: Sprrinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken slices. This simple step will add great flavor.

3. Stuffing: On each slice of chicken, add a layer of grated cheese, followed by a slice of Prague ham. Then add a few slices of goosar and a handful of sliced mushrooms. These ingredients not only add flavor but also an interesting texture to the rolls.

4. Rolling: Roll each slice of stuffed chicken carefully, taking care to do so tightly to prevent the stuffing from leaking out while roasting. Then, pinch the rolls with toothpicks, making sure the stuffing stays tightly sealed inside.

5. Dredge in the flour and egg: In one bowl, prepare the flour, and in another, whisk the two eggs with a pinch of salt and 1-2 tablespoons of flour. This combination will create a crispy coating. Dip each roll in the flour, then the beaten egg, making sure they are well coated.

6. Frying: In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil is heated through, carefully add the chicken rolls. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. It is important not to overcrowd the pan to allow the heat to circulate evenly.

7. Draining excess oil: Once the rolls are cooked, remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

8. Serving: Chicken rolls can be served warm, accompanied with a fresh green salad or mashed potatoes. A side of steamed vegetables or tomato sauce can complement this dish perfectly.

Personal tip: for extra flavor, you can add a little crushed garlic or fresh greens such as parsley or dill before wrapping the rolls. This flavorful touch will make the rolls even more delicious!

Nutritional benefits: Chicken breast is an excellent source of lean protein, ideal for a healthy diet. The cheese provides calcium and vitamins, and the vegetables in the filling contribute to your daily fiber and vitamin intake.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I use other meats? Yes, you can experiment with pork or turkey, adapting the cooking time according to the thickness of the slices.
- How can I make the rolls less fatty? Try baking the rolls in the oven on a baking paper-lined tray at 180 degrees Celsius for about 25-30 minutes.
- What sauces go well with chicken rolls? A garlic yogurt sauce or a sweet mustard sauce can perfectly complement the taste of the rolls.

Possible variations: You can add olives, spinach or feta cheese to the filling to make the roulades Mediterranean. Also try different types of mushrooms or add spices like paprika or cumin to diversify the flavor.
