Necessary ingredients:

For the chicken roll:
- 2 chicken breasts (approximately 500 grams)
- 200 grams of sliced cheese (choose a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella or gouda)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (to give it a nice color and a slightly smoky flavor)
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil (for browning)
- 1 sheet of baking paper
- 1 aluminum foil

For the boiled potatoes:
- 1 kg new potatoes, peeled and diced
- Salt, to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the chicken breast: Start by cutting each chicken breast in half, creating two thinner pieces. Cover each piece with plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound them. This step will not only thin the meat but also allow the flavors to penetrate better.

2. Seasoning: Salt and pepper each piece of chicken on both sides. Sprinkle paprika and ground coriander, adding a layer of flavor that will enhance the taste of the meat.

3. Adding the cheese: Place slices of cheese on top of each piece of chicken, ensuring they cover the meat evenly. The cheese will melt during cooking, bringing a creamy and delicious texture to the roll.

4. Forming the rolls: Tightly roll each piece of chicken, making sure to keep the cheese inside. Use baking paper to wrap each roll, ensuring it is well sealed.

5. Wrapping in aluminum foil: After rolling the chicken, wrap each roll in aluminum foil. This step is important to keep moisture and flavors during boiling.

6. Boiling: Place a large pot of water on the heat and, once the water is boiling, add the chicken rolls. Boil them for 10-15 minutes, until the meat is cooked, but don’t forget to check to ensure they don’t become too dry.

7. Browning: After boiling, remove the rolls from the water and unwrap the aluminum foil. Heat a pan with a little olive oil and add the rolls. Brown them on all sides, sprinkling a little paprika and ground coriander for extra flavor.

8. Preparing the boiled potatoes: While the rolls cool and brown, prepare the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, then drain and add olive oil and finely chopped parsley. Gently mix to combine the flavors.

9. Serving: Arrange the rolls on a platter, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh and colorful appearance. Serve them alongside the boiled potatoes, which will perfectly complement this dish.

Serving suggestions:
The chicken rolls with cheese can be accompanied by a fresh vegetable salad or a garlic yogurt sauce, which adds a note of freshness. Additionally, a glass of dry white wine pairs wonderfully with these dishes.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of cheese instead of cheese? Yes, you can experiment with mozzarella, brie, or even feta for a different taste.
2. How can I make the recipe healthier? You can use organic chicken breast and extra virgin olive oil, as well as sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes.
3. What are the variations for this recipe? You can add vegetables (such as spinach or mushrooms) to the roll to enrich the texture and flavor.
