Total time: 50 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast (about 500g)
- 2 sausages (preferably fresh sausages, such as homemade or Italian sausages)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- A bunch of fresh parsley
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
- 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients:
Start by washing the chicken breast well under cold running water and drying it with paper towels. Make sure all the ingredients are at hand before you start cooking. This will save you time and help you stay organized.

2. Creating the flavorful filling:
Crush the 3 cloves of garlic in a mortar or with a knife. Then, finely chop the parsley and rosemary. In a small bowl, combine the crushed garlic with the parsley and rosemary. Add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well to obtain a smooth paste. This marinade will add a delicious flavor to the chicken.

3. Preparing the chicken breast:
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips lengthwise to form "filets." Use a meat mallet to gently pound them so that they are uniform in thickness. This is an important step to ensure even cooking of the chicken.

4. Filling the rolls:
On each chicken slice, add a generous amount of the garlic and herb filling, then place a sausage on each slice. Carefully roll them up, making sure not to spill the filling, and secure them with a toothpick at the ends.

5. Cooking the rolls:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Place the chicken rolls in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden and well-cooked. Use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 75°C.

6. Serving:
Once the rolls are ready, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve them warm, alongside a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables for a contrast of textures and flavors. You can also add a side of mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.

Variations and useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of sausages, such as smoked sausages or herb-infused pork sausages, for varied flavors.
- Add mozzarella or parmesan cheese to the filling for an extra creaminess.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can bake the rolls in the oven: place them in a greased baking dish with a little oil and bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.
