Ingredients

For the chicken breast:
- 1/2 large chicken breast
- 1 large potato
- 2 eggs
- 50 g grated cheese (preferably cottage cheese or cheese)
- 1 pickled bell pepper (or pickled pepper)
- Seasonings for chicken (salt, pepper, sweet paprika)
- Oil (for frying and greasing)

For the mayonnaise sauce:
- 1 egg
- 100 ml oil
- 1 heaping teaspoon of mustard
- 1 clove of garlic (optional)

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the chicken breast
Start by slicing the chicken breast widthwise to create a flat piece. This technique, known as "butterflying," will help with the stuffing. Place the chicken slices between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound them, being careful not to tear them. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika to taste, and let it cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This will help intensify the flavors.

Step 2: Preparing the filling
Peel the potato, wash it well, and cut it into long sticks. Heat oil in a large skillet and fry the potatoes until golden and crispy. Remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. In the same skillet, beat the two eggs and mix them with the grated cheese, cooking a simple omelette. When the omelette is ready, cut it into appropriately sized strips. Dice the pickled pepper.

Step 3: Assembling the roll
On the chicken piece, place the fried potatoes, omelette strips, and pieces of pickled pepper. Carefully fold the meat to form a roll, being careful not to let the filling escape. Tie the roll with thicker thread, ensuring it is tightly secured, but not too tight to avoid breaking.

Step 4: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the roll in a baking tray lined with parchment paper, season it again, and brush it with a little oil. Bake the roll for about 30-40 minutes, turning it occasionally, until it is golden and appetizing on all sides.

Step 5: Preparing the sauce
For the mayonnaise sauce, use a vertical blender. Add the egg, oil, mustard, and if you like, the crushed garlic clove. Blend until you achieve a creamy consistency. If you prefer a thinner mayonnaise, add a few drops of water.

Step 6: Serving
Let the roll cool slightly, then cut it into thick slices. Serve it warm alongside your mayonnaise sauce and, optionally, with a fresh vegetable salad. This meal is perfect to be enjoyed with a chilled white wine or a cold fruit tea.

Practical tips
- Choose fresh chicken breast: A high-quality chicken breast will make a difference in the final taste of the dish.
- Experiment with fillings: Don’t limit yourself to just potatoes and omelette. You can add spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or even feta cheese for an interesting twist.
- See if the roll holds well: If you don’t have thread, you can use toothpicks to secure the roll.
- Cook at lower temperatures: If you prefer, you can bake the roll at a lower temperature to ensure it cooks evenly.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I use turkey instead of chicken? Absolutely! Turkey meat is a healthy alternative and can provide a different but delicious flavor.
- How can I make the roll more flavorful? You can add fresh herbs, such as basil or dill, to the filling for an extra flavor boost.
- Can it be prepared in advance? Yes, you can prepare the roll a day ahead and freeze it. Cook it directly from the freezer, but it will require a longer baking time.
