A touch of history
Chicken breast rolls represent a versatile recipe that has gained popularity worldwide due to the limitless filling possibilities. They can be adapted based on available ingredients or personal preferences. The combination of the tender texture of the chicken with rich cheese and cold cuts filling offers a delicious contrast, and frying gives them a crispy crust, making each bite a true delight.

Step by step:

1. Preparing the chicken breast:
Start by cutting the chicken breast into 4 equal pieces. This will allow for even cooking and make rolling easier. Use a meat mallet to pound each piece, being careful not to crush the meat. A practical solution is to place plastic wrap over the chicken to avoid splattering.

2. Seasoning:
Sprinkle salt and pepper on each piece of chicken, ensuring they are well coated. This will enhance the flavor of the rolls.

3. Adding the filling:
On each slice of chicken, place a slice of prosciutto, followed by a slice of mozzarella and a piece of smoked sausage. This combination will provide a rich and savory flavor to your rolls.

4. Rolling:
Carefully roll each chicken piece starting from one end. Make sure the filling stays well wrapped inside. Secure the rolls with toothpicks to prevent them from unrolling during cooking.

5. Preparing the batter:
In a bowl, beat the two eggs with a tablespoon of cold water. Add the flour and mix until you obtain a smooth batter, similar to pancake batter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Frying the rolls:
Heat a pan with enough oil to cover the bottom. Before frying the rolls, dip them in flour, then in the egg batter. Carefully place them in the pan and fry until golden and crispy, about 6-7 minutes on each side.

7. Draining excess oil:
Once the rolls are ready, remove them to a paper towel to eliminate excess oil. This step will make the rolls less greasy and more appetizing.

Serving suggestions:
These rolls can be served alongside a side of boiled potatoes and pickles for a contrast of textures and flavors. You can also enjoy them plain, as their flavor is already exceptional.

Tips and useful advice:
- If you want to add a touch of freshness, you can include some basil or parsley leaves in the filling.
- Make sure the oil is well heated before adding the rolls to achieve a crispy crust.
- You can freeze the un-fried rolls, and later fry them directly from the freezer, saving time on busy days.

1. Can I substitute mozzarella with another type of cheese?

2. How can I make the rolls healthier?

4. Can I prepare these rolls in advance?
