Chicken, a staple ingredient in many cultures, can be filled with a variety of ingredients, from vegetables to cheeses, offering a multitude of delicious combinations. Today, we will explore a unique version that combines the smoky flavors of bacon with the creamy texture of vegetable purees.

Ingredients:
- 150-200 g chicken breast
- 7 slices of bacon
- 1 sheet of Nori (seaweed)
- 3-4 slices of turkey ham
- 50 g red beet
- 3 slices of melted cheese
- wasabi (a few dots)
- 2 strips of red pepper and 2 strips of green pepper
- 100 g spinach
- 100 g rice
- 100 g carrot
- 30 g parmesan
- 1 spinach stick
- 3 capers
- Red peppercorns for decoration
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot (for soup)
- 1 small celery (for soup)
- Cognac (6-7 drops)
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic

Preparation:

1. Preparing the vegetable soup:
Start by peeling and chopping the onion, carrot, and celery into large pieces. Place them in a pot with water to boil, adding a teaspoon of salt. When the water boils, let the vegetables simmer for 15-20 minutes to obtain a flavorful vegetable broth. This will be the base for your rice.

2. Cooking the rice:
Once the soup is ready, strain the vegetables and add the rice (100 g) in a 1:3 ratio with water. Let it boil according to the package instructions. When the rice is cooked, let it cool and add 30 g of parmesan for extra flavor.

3. Preparing the chicken breast:
Meanwhile, take the chicken breast and use a meat mallet to pound it evenly, creating a larger and thinner slice. Add 6-7 drops of cognac over the meat for a refined taste.

4. Filling the roll:
Place the slices of bacon on the chicken breast, followed by the nori sheet. Add the beet slices, turkey ham, wasabi dots, pepper strips, and melted cheese slices. Season with salt and pepper, then carefully roll the chicken breast, ensuring all ingredients stay inside.

5. Frying the roll:
In a pan, heat a little olive oil and fry the roll on all sides until golden. Then, transfer it to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

6. Preparing the purees:
- Carrot puree: Boil the carrots (100 g) in salted water until soft. After boiling, mash them and add butter, a little salt, a teaspoon of sugar, and toasted sesame seeds.
- Spinach puree: If using frozen spinach (100 g), thaw it in hot water. Then, boil it, drain it, and finely chop it. In a pan, melt a cube of butter and add the crushed garlic. When the garlic turns golden, add the spinach and sauté for a few minutes.
- Red pepper puree: Roast the red pepper, peel it, and blend it until you get a smooth paste.

7. Preparing the broccoli:
Break the broccoli into small florets and quickly boil them in salted water for a few seconds to keep their crunchy texture.

8. Plating:
Choose an elegant plate design to arrange the dish. Start by layering the spinach puree, parmesan rice, carrot puree, and in the middle, use a plastic ring to add the red pepper puree. Decorate with a spinach stick and draw a line with beet dressing. Place a few capers and red peppercorns for a pop of color.

9. Serving the rolls:
Remove the roll from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice it thinly. Arrange them in a fan shape on the plate or leave a whole roll, depending on your preference.

Useful tips:
- Make sure the chicken breast is well-pounded to allow for even cooking.
- If desired, you can replace the bacon with turkey ham for a lighter option.
- Experiment with different vegetables in purees, such as zucchini or sweet potato, to add variety.

Calories and nutritional benefits:
This recipe offers a balanced meal, rich in protein from the chicken breast, vitamins, and minerals from the vegetables. One serving contains approximately 600-700 calories, depending on the portions of purees and oil used. It is a healthy option for a special dinner, full of nutrients.

Delicious combinations:
This dish pairs wonderfully with a dry white wine or a light citrus cocktail. Additionally, a fresh green salad with lemon dressing would perfectly complete the meal.

Enjoy your meal! Experiment, adapt the recipe according to your personal preferences, and transform it into a special dish for memorable moments!
