Preparation Time
- Preparation time: 20 minutes
- Cooking time: 30 minutes
- Total time: 50 minutes
- Number of servings: 4

Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken breast
- 8 sausages (preferably fresh)
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons mustard (you can use Dijon mustard for a stronger flavor)
- 2 tablespoons sweet milk
- Flour (approximately 150 g)
- Breadcrumbs (approximately 200 g)
- Salt (to taste)
- Oil for frying (enough to cover the bottom of the pan)

Necessary Utensils
- A good slicing knife
- A meat mallet or rolling pin
- A mixing bowl
- A plate for flour
- A plate for breadcrumbs
- A deep frying pan

Preparation Method

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cleaning the chicken breast of skin and fat. Cut it into thin slices, about 1-2 cm thick.

2. Tenderizing the meat: Using the meat mallet, pound each slice of chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or baking paper until it becomes thin and even. This step not only helps tenderize the meat but also ensures a uniform roll.

3. Preparing the egg mixture: In a bowl, beat the 3 eggs and add the sweet milk, mustard, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

4. Assembling the roll: Spread a little mustard on each slice of chicken breast. Place a sausage in the center of each chicken slice and roll the meat around the sausages, making sure to seal the ends well.

5. Coating the roll: First, dip the rolls in flour, ensuring they are well coated. Then, immerse them in the egg mixture and finally roll them in breadcrumbs. Here you can add herbs or spices to the breadcrumbs for an even richer flavor.

6. Frying the rolls: Heat a deep frying pan with oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot (you can check by adding a small piece of breadcrumb – if it browns immediately, it’s ready), add the rolls. Fry them on each side until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.

7. Serving: Remove the rolls onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Let them rest for a few minutes before cutting. Serve them with a green bean salad with mayonnaise, which will add a fresh and refreshing contrast.

Useful Tips
- Choosing sausages: Choose fresh or smoked sausages, depending on your preferences. Spicy sausages can add an extra kick of flavor.
- Variations: You can experiment with different fillings, adding cheese, mushrooms, or vegetables of your choice for a vegetarian option.
- Oven cooking: If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the rolls in the oven. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through.
