The history of the chicken roll with minced meat recipe is one of culinary innovation. This recipe has been adapted over time, bringing together the tradition of meat preparation with rich fillings of vegetables and spices. Meat rolls are a popular choice due to their versatility – they can be baked, fried, or even boiled, depending on personal preferences.

Before we start cooking, let’s make sure we have all the ingredients ready. Here’s what we need:

Ingredients:
- 2 halves of boneless chicken breast
- 2 green onions
- 1 dry onion
- 1 small carrot
- 4 green garlic stalks
- 150 g peeled tomatoes
- 350 g minced pork
- 1 heaping tablespoon of roasted pepper paste
- 4 sprigs of fresh dill
- 1 egg
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of tomato paste
- Salt, pepper, sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
- 1 small cup of red wine
- 2 tablespoons of oil

Now, let’s begin our culinary adventure!

Step 1: Preparing the vegetables
We peel and finely chop the dry onion. The green onions are washed well and sliced into rounds. The carrot is peeled and grated. The peeled tomatoes are chopped finely, and the green garlic is also chopped. These vegetables will add a touch of freshness and sweetness to our roll.

Step 2: Cooking the filling
In a skillet heated over medium heat, we add the oil. When hot, we add the dry onion and carrot. We cook for 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Then, we add the rest of the chopped vegetables (green onion, green garlic, and tomatoes). We add 4-5 tablespoons of water and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: Adding the meat
Once the vegetables have a pleasant texture, we add the minced pork and the roasted pepper paste. We mix everything well, season with salt, pepper, and pour in a cup of water. We let it simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces and becomes thick. Finally, we incorporate 1/2 tablespoon of tomato paste and let it cook for another 2 minutes. We turn off the heat and add the beaten egg and chopped fresh dill.

Step 4: Preparing the chicken breast
The chicken breast halves are washed and patted dry with a towel to remove excess water. Using a knife, we thin them slightly, then gently pound them with a meat mallet, being careful not to tear them. We season each piece with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika. This is where you can add a bit of personal flavor – for example, you can also add a pinch of garlic or your favorite spices.

Step 5: Filling and rolling
On each piece of chicken breast, we place a portion of the meat and vegetable filling, then roll it tightly. We use toothpicks to secure the rolls, ensuring that the filling does not escape during baking. This is a moment where you can be creative – for example, you can also add slices of cheese to the filling for a richer taste!

Step 6: Preparing for the oven
We grease a baking dish with oil and place the rolls in it. In a bowl, we mix the wine, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and dried parsley. We add about a cup of water and pour the mixture over the rolls. The peeled and sliced garlic clove is sprinkled on top. We cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil, then place it in the preheated oven at a medium temperature.

Step 7: Baking
We leave the rolls in the oven for 60 minutes. After this time, we remove the lid or foil and baste the rolls with the juices from the dish. It’s important to baste them 2-3 times at intervals of 10 minutes to keep them juicy. This is a perfect moment to prepare a light side dish, such as a fresh salad or mashed potatoes.

Step 8: Serving
When the roll is ready, we take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly. We can keep it in the fridge for a later snack, but it’s delicious warm! It can be served with a side of grilled vegetables or a seasonal salad.
