Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:

- 500 g sliced chicken breast (or beef/pork)
- 4-6 slices of ham
- 4-6 slices of cheese
- 1 can of mushrooms (about 400 g)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of ketchup (sweet or spicy, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- Salt and white pepper, to taste
- 2-3 eggs, beaten
- Sesame seeds, for crust
- Oil for frying
- Toothpicks, for securing the rolls
- Optional: dried parsley for garnish
- 1 small lemon, sliced, for serving

Preparation:

1. Preparing the meat: If you choose to use beef or pork, make sure the slices are thicker than those used for schnitzels. For chicken breast, slice it thinly. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the slices so they become more tender.

2. Marinating: Season the meat slices with salt, pepper, and add a little lemon juice. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

3. Preparing the filling: In a pan, add a little olive oil and sauté the chopped garlic over low heat until golden. Add the canned mushrooms and continue cooking for a few minutes. Mix in the ketchup, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar, letting everything simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes. This mixture will give a rich flavor to your rolls.

4. Assembling the rolls: On each slice of meat, place a slice of cheese, followed by a slice of ham. Make sure the ham slices do not exceed the edges of the meat. Put a teaspoon of the mushroom mixture on each slice.

5. Rolling: Roll each slice of meat with the filling, making sure to seal it well. Use toothpicks to secure the roll.

6. Breading: In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of pepper. Dip each roll in the beaten eggs, then in the sesame seeds, covering the entire surface well.

7. Frying: In a deep pan, heat the oil until very hot. Add the rolls, 2-3 at a time, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

8. Serving: Serve the rolls hot, alongside a side of vegetable rice with mushrooms, which you can prepare by adding fresh or frozen vegetables to the boiled rice. Garnish with dried parsley and lemon slices for a fresh touch.

Useful tips:

- Variations: You can add various ingredients to the filling, such as bell peppers or chopped olives, to enrich the flavor of the rolls. You can also use feta cheese or mozzarella instead of cheese.
- Serving: These rolls are also excellent cold, so you can include them in appetizer platters.
- Frequently asked questions:
- Can the rolls be frozen? Yes, you can freeze them before frying, but make sure they are well wrapped in cling film.
- Can I use other types of meat? Absolutely! Beef or pork rolls will offer a different but delicious flavor.

Nutritional benefits:

These rolls are rich in protein due to the chicken, mushrooms provide fiber and B vitamins, and sesame seeds are a good source of calcium and healthy fats. It is a recipe that not only satisfies the taste buds but also supports a balanced lifestyle.

In conclusion, chicken breast rolls with sesame are a quick, simple, and delicious choice for any meal. I encourage you to try them and bring a touch of creativity to your kitchen! Enjoy!
