Recipe story:
Chicken rolls are a classic recipe loved by many for their versatility and ease of preparation. They can easily be adapted with various ingredients, but the combination of chicken and cheese has remained a favorite over time. In the past, such dishes were often prepared for special occasions, but due to their simplicity, they have gained popularity in everyday meals.

Step by step for delicious rolls:

1. Preparing the chicken breast:
Start by washing the chicken breast under cold running water. Then, dry it with paper towels to remove excess water. Now, cut the chicken breast into 6 larger pieces. If you have a large breast, do not hesitate to cut it into appropriate sizes, no smaller than 100g each.

2. Tenderizing the chicken:
Using a meat mallet, gently pound each piece of chicken to make it thinner and more uniform. This will help with even cooking and make the chicken more tender. Make sure not to pound them too hard, so they don’t break.

3. Seasoning:
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and a little dried parsley on both sides of each piece of chicken. The spices are essential to add a deep and flavorful taste to the dish.

4. Adding the cheese:
Cut the cheese into larger slices (about 1 cm thick). Place a slice of cheese on each piece of chicken, ensuring it is well covered.

5. Wrapping the rolls:
Wrap each piece of chicken around the cheese slices, making sure they are well sealed. Finally, secure them with toothpicks to maintain their shape during baking.

6. Preparing for frying:
In a bowl, beat the two eggs well with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little dried dill. On one plate, place the white flour, and on another, the breadcrumbs.

7. Coating the rolls:
Dip each roll in flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, dip it in the egg, followed by a second coating of flour, egg, and finally, breadcrumbs. This layer will coat the roll and form a delicious crust.

8. Preparing for the oven:
Take a baking dish and grease it well with butter. Place the rolls in the dish, leaving a little space between them for even baking. Put a few pieces of butter on top of each roll for extra flavor and a golden appearance.

9. Baking:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the crust is golden and crispy.

10. Serving:
Once the rolls are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Remove the toothpicks before serving. These rolls are delicious alongside pickled peppers in sauce and boiled potatoes, but they can also be served with a fresh salad for a light lunch.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of cheese? Yes, you can experiment with feta or mozzarella for a different texture.
- What else can I add to the rolls? You can add ham or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- How can I make the rolls healthier? Replace the butter with olive oil and use whole wheat breadcrumbs.
