Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour

The ingredients needed for this delicious roll are:

- 1 boneless chicken breast (about 500 g)
- 300 g chicken livers
- 150 g mushrooms
- 150 g cheese
- 300 g frozen spinach (or fresh, if you prefer)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 50 ml white wine (optional, but recommended)
- 2 garlic cloves
- Fresh herbs (basil, thyme, rosemary) or dried
- 5 ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- 6 tablespoons olive oil

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let's move on to the preparation steps!

Step 1: Prepare the chicken breast
Start by washing the chicken breast thoroughly. Cut it in half and remove any skin. Then, slice each half into three pieces to create thin but compact pieces of meat. Use a meat mallet to gently pound each piece to create delicate cutlets. Season them with salt, pepper, and ground cloves for an exceptional flavor.

Step 2: Prepare the filling
Clean the mushrooms, wash them, and slice them. Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds, and cut it into thin strips. If using frozen spinach, blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain it well. Peel and crush the garlic. Clean, wash, and drain the livers.

Step 3: Sauté the ingredients
In a skillet, heat the olive oil and add the livers. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes, then add the mushrooms and bell pepper. Continue to sauté until the mushrooms soften, then deglaze with the white wine. Add the herbs, salt, and pepper, then cover the skillet and let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Once the filling has cooled, it’s ready to use.

Step 4: Assemble the roll
On a sheet of aluminum foil, sprinkle a little paprika and garlic, then place the two pieces of chicken breast, slightly overlapping them. On each piece of meat, spread a generous layer of spinach, followed by 2/3 of the grated cheese. On one long edge, add a line of the liver mixture, then sprinkle the remaining cheese. Use the foil to tightly roll it up, forming a compact roll.

Step 5: Baking
Place the roll in a baking dish with a little water (about 1-2 cm to prevent drying out). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the roll for 40 minutes. You'll notice how the meat becomes juicy and the flavors intensify.

Step 6: Serving
After removing the roll from the oven, let it cool slightly before slicing. You can serve the roll warm or at room temperature, alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes. A drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar will add an extra touch of flavor!

Practical tips:
- If you want a healthier version, you can replace the cheese with cottage cheese or feta cheese.
- You can also add other vegetables to the filling, such as carrots or zucchini, for added color and nutrients.
- This roll can also be made with turkey for an equally delicious alternative.
