- 4 pieces eggs
- 200 g (7.1 oz) sour cream
- 2 g (0.1 oz) black pepper
- 2 g (0.1 oz) salt
- 2 g (0.1 oz) sweet paprika
- 100 g (3.5 oz) mozzarella
- 1 piece onion
- 1 piece tomato
- 100 g (3.5 oz) parmesan
The Salad:
- 2 pieces tomatoes
- 1 piece red onion
- 2 pieces cucumbers
- 10 g (0.4 oz) parsley
- 1 piece avocado
- 3 g (0.1 oz) salt
- 3 g (0.1 oz) black pepper
- 30 ml (1 fl oz) olive oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Slice the onion and tomato thinly. Grate the mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Chop the parsley.
- Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) of olive oil over medium heat. Add the potato slices and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Chicken Breast: Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and sweet paprika on both sides.
- Cook the Chicken Breast: In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, grated mozzarella, sliced onion, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Chicken Rolls: Place a spoonful of the sour cream mixture on each chicken breast. Roll up the chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Bake the Chicken Rolls: Place the rolled chicken breasts on a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Top each chicken roll with sliced tomato and grated parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Prepare the Salad: While the chicken is baking, prepare the salad. Chop the tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers, and avocado. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Toss until well coated.
- Serve: Once the chicken rolls are cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the oven. Serve hot with the crispy potatoes and refreshing salad on the side.
Cooking Notes and Variations:
- Chicken Options: Feel free to use chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins instead of chicken breast for a different texture and flavor.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Swiss, or provolone, for a unique flavor profile.
- Vegetable Options: Get creative with the filling by adding sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Low-Carb Version: For a low-carb version, skip the potatoes and serve the chicken rolls with a side of roasted vegetables or a green salad.
- Keto-Friendly Option: Replace the potatoes with cauliflower or broccoli florets for a keto-friendly alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time? A: Yes, you can prepare the chicken rolls in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake. Simply assemble the rolls, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
Q: Can I freeze the leftovers? A: Absolutely! Once cooked, allow the chicken rolls to cool completely before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake in a preheated oven until heated through.
Q: Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breast from scratch? A: Yes, using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken can save you time and effort. Simply shred the rotisserie chicken and mix it with the sour cream filling before rolling it up in the chicken breasts.
Q: What can I serve with these chicken rolls besides potatoes? A: While potatoes make a delicious side dish, you can also serve the chicken rolls with rice, quinoa, or a side of steamed vegetables for a lighter option. Additionally, a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables would complement the dish nicely.
