Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken thighs (about 300 g boneless)
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1-2 nori seaweeds
- 1 bell pepper (you can use red, green, or a combination)
- 4 black olives, sliced
- 2 sausages
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Sweet paprika
- Olive oil (for greasing)
- 4 medium potatoes (about 500 g)
- 50 g of butter
- Nutmeg (to taste)
- 1 radish (for decoration)
Dressing:
- 1-2 teaspoons of berry jam
- 3-4 tablespoons of berry compote
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
- 1-2 teaspoons of brown sugar (to taste)
Step by step:
1. Preparing the chicken thighs
Start by deboning the chicken thighs if you haven't already bought boneless ones. Cut them into the desired shape, making them thinner so they can be rolled. Season with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika to give them a rich flavor.
2. Assembling the rolls
On each chicken thigh, place 3 slices of bacon, then add a piece of nori seaweed. Add the sausages, cut lengthwise and filled with sliced olives. Arrange the bell pepper slices around the roll for a colorful appearance and unique flavor.
3. Forming the rolls
Carefully roll the thighs to form tight rolls. Brush the outside of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme and sweet paprika for added flavor.
4. Baking
Take a loaf pan and grease it with oil. Place parchment paper on the bottom of the pan, then add the rolls. Bake in the oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes, or until the meat is well cooked and the bacon becomes crispy.
5. Preparing the mashed potatoes
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and boil them in a pot of salted water. After they are cooked, drain them well and mash them with a potato masher. Add the butter and nutmeg, mixing well to achieve a smooth texture. You can pass the mash through a sieve to eliminate any lumps, resulting in a dreamy consistency.
6. Preparing the dressing
In a small pot, combine the berry jam with the compote and bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch dissolved in water to thicken the sauce. Turn off the heat with the lemon juice and taste. If it's too sour, add brown sugar, mixing well.
7. Serving
After 20 minutes, check the rolls; they should be cooked, but don't forget to let them cool for a few minutes before cutting them to prevent crumbling. Arrange the mashed potatoes in a round shape on the plate. Place the sliced roll on top, and for a pop of color and texture, decorate with radish slices and a few spoonfuls of sweet and sour dressing.
Useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of meat, such as turkey or duck, to vary the recipe.
- Instead of olives, you can use capers or roasted peppers for a different taste.
- If you want a vegetarian option, replace the meat with grilled vegetables like zucchini or eggplant, and add feta cheese for extra flavor.
Delicious combinations:
These rolls pair perfectly with a glass of dry white wine or fresh lemonade. You can also accompany the dish with a simple green salad, dressed with balsamic vinegar for a pleasant contrast.
Nutritional benefits:
This recipe offers quality protein from chicken and bacon, as well as fiber from vegetables. Potatoes provide complex carbohydrates, while the berry sauce adds essential vitamins and antioxidants, contributing to a balanced meal.
Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use chicken with skin? Yes, the skin will add extra flavor, but it will make the dish richer.
- How can I store the rolls? You can store cooked rolls in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, and to reheat them, place them in the oven to keep the crispy texture.
- Can I freeze the rolls? Yes, the rolls can be frozen, but it's recommended to consume them fresh to enjoy all the flavors.
