Total preparation time: 60 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30-45 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 300-400 g sliced chicken breast (or a larger piece of chicken breast, cut by you)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow or green bell pepper
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4-5 teaspoons mustard dill sauce (you can buy or prepare at home from 3 tablespoons of mustard, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a little dried dill)
- 2 carrots, sliced into rounds
- 1 large onion or 2 small ones, sliced
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil for greasing the baking tray

Step by step for perfect rolls:

1. Preparing the chicken breast:
Start by taking the chicken breast and gently pounding it with a meat hammer. Be careful not to make it too thin, just to even it out. This step will help achieve a more tender texture after baking.

2. Seasoning:
Salt and pepper each slice of chicken on both sides. On the side that will be rolled, sprinkle dried oregano. Oregano adds a delicious aromatic flavor that pairs perfectly with chicken.

3. Adding the vegetables:
On each slice of chicken, place a slice of red bell pepper and a slice of yellow or green bell pepper. These not only add color but also a sweet and crunchy taste.

4. Rolling:
Carefully roll each slice of chicken, making sure not to lose the filling. At the ends, use a toothpick to secure the rolls so they don't unravel during baking.

5. Preparing the sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the mustard dill sauce. If you chose to make it at home, ensure the ingredients are well combined.

6. Placing in the tray:
Grease a baking tray with a little olive oil and carefully place the rolls. Scatter the remaining slices of bell pepper, sliced onion, and sliced carrots around them. These vegetables will add flavor and become the perfect garnish.

7. Seasoning the vegetables:
Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the vegetables for added taste.

8. Baking:
Cover the tray with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Bake for about 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and let it brown for another 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is golden and appetizing.

9. Serving:
Once the rolls are ready, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve them hot, alongside the roasted vegetables from the tray. You can also add a fresh salad to complete the meal.

Useful tips:
- If you like a spicier taste, you can add a few slices of chili pepper between the chicken slices.
- Instead of mustard with dill, you can experiment with other types of sauces, such as BBQ sauce or a yogurt sauce with fresh herbs.
- You can replace the chicken breast with turkey for an even lighter option.

Nutritional benefits:
Chicken rolls are an excellent source of lean protein, essential for building and repairing tissues. The vegetables used provide a rich supply of vitamins and minerals, and mustard is a healthier alternative to heavy sauces.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other types of meat?
Absolutely! You can try this recipe with pork or turkey as well.

2. How can I store leftover rolls?
The rolls can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven before serving.

3. What side dishes go well with chicken rolls?
Rice, baked potatoes, or a fresh green salad are excellent options to complement the meal.
