For the filling:
- 1 boneless chicken breast

- 2 tablespoons cornmeal

For the omelette:
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon flour

For the mushrooms:
- 1 can sliced mushrooms (or fresh mushrooms, boiled in salted water with lemon juice, about 300 g)
- 3-4 green onions, sliced thinly
- 1 heaping tablespoon butter

Optional additions:

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the pancake batter
1. Beat the eggs: In a tall bowl, beat the eggs well with a little salt and oil or melted butter. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy texture.
2. Add the milk: Continue mixing by gradually adding the milk. Make sure there are no lumps.
3. Incorporate the flour: Add the flour and mix with a whisk or mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and small bubbles start to appear on the surface.
4. Cook the pancakes: In a special pancake pan or a non-stick skillet, add a little oil and let it heat well. With a ladle, pour the batter into the center of the pan and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook on low heat, then flip the pancake onto a deep plate. Cover with a lid to keep them warm and soft until finished.

Step 2: Prepare the filling
1. Prepare the chicken breast: Cut the chicken breast against the grain into 1 cm thick slices, then into thin strips. Place the strips in a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of wine, soy sauce, cornmeal, and spices. Let marinate while preparing the rest of the filling.
2. Prepare the omelette: Beat the eggs with sour cream, flour, salt, and pepper. Cook two omelettes in a skillet with a little butter. Remove the omelettes to a platter and let them cool, then cut them into strips about 4 cm long.
3. Sauté the onion and mushrooms: In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion in a little butter. Add the mushrooms, spices, and cook until golden.
4. Cook the chicken: Remove the chicken strips from the marinade and fry them in the skillet, being careful not to burn them; the meat should remain juicy.
5. Combine the filling: Add the sautéed mushrooms, omelette strips, bamboo shoots or mini corn, ginger, and the remaining marinade sauce. Cook everything, stirring gently, until the mixture becomes smooth and soft. Taste and adjust with hot paprika and a little wine if desired.

Step 3: Assemble the rolls
1. Fill the pancakes: Place 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture on each pancake. Carefully roll them up. Make sure the filling is evenly distributed along the length of the pancake for a uniform taste.
2. Keep the rolls: Place the rolls on a platter and cover them to keep warm.

Serving
The chicken and mushroom rolls can be served warm, alongside a fresh salad or soy sauce for an extra flavor boost. They pair perfectly with a glass of white wine or a cold beer, providing an unforgettable culinary experience.
