Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast (approximately 400 g)
- 50 g cheddar cheese or cheese
- 50 g smoked bacon
- 4 strips of pickled pepper
- Wheat flour (for coating)
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon of oil (for the egg)
- Oil for frying
- Optional: sunflower or sesame seeds, for added texture

Practical tip: Choose fresh, high-quality chicken breast. This will make the rolls juicy and full of flavor. The smoked bacon adds a rich taste, but if you prefer something lighter, a ham variant can be just as delicious.

Recipe history: Meat rolls are a classic appetizer in many cultures, with deep roots in culinary tradition. They are often filled with various ingredients, from vegetables to cheeses and cold cuts, reflecting local preferences. The combination of chicken with bacon and cheese brings together the tender texture of the meat with the richness and heartiness of the cheese, creating a perfect balance.

Step by step:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Cut the chicken breast into thin slices, about 1 cm thick. Make sure the slices are even for uniform cooking. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them until they are flat and thin. This step will help achieve tender rolls.

2. Assemble the rolls: Place a slice of bacon at one end of each chicken slice. On top of the bacon, add a slice of cheese and finally a strip of pickled pepper. Carefully wrap the chicken slices around the filling, forming compact rolls.

3. Prepare the coating mixture: In a bowl, beat the egg with salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of oil. This mixture will help form a delicious crust.

4. Coat the rolls: Dredge each roll in flour, then in the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. This is an important step to achieve a crispy, golden crust.

5. Fry the rolls: In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the rolls and fry them on each side for 3-4 minutes, until golden and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully turn them.

6. Finish preparing: After frying, remove the rolls onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. If desired, you can also coat them in sunflower or sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. Return them to the skillet for a few seconds to lightly fry.

7. Serve with style: These appetizer rolls are delicious served warm. You can accompany them with a garlic yogurt sauce or a sweet and sour sauce, which will perfectly complement the flavors.

Serving suggestions: The rolls pair excellently with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables. Additionally, a refreshing drink, such as a fruit cocktail or white wine, can add an extra touch of flavor to the meal.
