Recipe history
Stuffed chicken breast with liver has deep roots in culinary traditions, often found on festive tables. Liver, as an ingredient, has been used over time due to its nutritional value and intense flavor. It pairs perfectly with chicken meat, bringing a rich texture and unmistakable taste.

Step by step

1. Preparing the chicken breast
The first step is to prepare the chicken breast. Use a sharp knife to cut each piece of breast in half horizontally, without cutting all the way through. Then, use a meat mallet or a cutting board to gently pound each piece to achieve an even thickness. This will help the meat cook evenly and make it easier to roll.

2. Marinating
Once the chicken breast is prepared, season it with salt, crushed garlic, and sweet paprika for a more intense flavor. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours or, ideally, overnight. This will enhance the flavors and make the meat more tender.

3. Preparing the filling
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken livers and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add the finely chopped green onions, crushed garlic, and frozen vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

4. Preparing the bread crumbs
In a bowl, crumble the bread. Once the filling is ready, let it cool slightly, then combine it with the bread crumbs and a beaten egg. Mix well to achieve a homogeneous composition. Add salt, pepper, and fresh dill to taste.

5. Assembling the rolls
Remove the marinated chicken breast from the refrigerator. On a clean surface, lay each piece of meat and place a portion of filling on each. Carefully roll each piece, securing it with toothpicks to prevent it from unraveling during baking.

6. Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the rolls in a baking dish lined with parchment paper or greased with butter. Bake for about an hour or until the meat is well cooked and has a nicely browned crust.

7. Serving
After the rolls have cooled slightly, slice them and arrange them on a platter. You can serve them with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, which perfectly complement this dish. Add a fresh salad for a crunchy contrast.

Useful tips
- If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can add herbs such as oregano or thyme to the filling.
- Chicken livers can be replaced with pork or turkey liver for variations in taste.
- Make sure the chicken breast is well marinated, as this will make a difference in flavor.
- If you don't have bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or croutons.

Calories and nutritional benefits
Each serving of stuffed chicken breast with liver contains approximately 350-400 calories, depending on the amount of butter and bread crumbs used. Livers are an excellent source of protein, B vitamins, and iron, contributing to a healthy and balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I prepare this recipe without using butter?
Yes, you can replace the butter with olive oil or grill the livers to reduce fats.

2. Can the rolls be frozen?
Yes, the rolls can be frozen before baking. Make sure to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn.

3. How long can I keep leftovers?
