Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, salt, and lemon juice. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and any excess liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, mix together the chopped boiled eggs, mozzarella, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and melted cheese to create the filling mixture.

- Pound the chicken breast until thin and even. Cut into smaller pieces if needed.
- Place a spoonful of the filling mixture onto each piece of chicken and roll it up tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Coat the Rolls:
- In a shallow dish, beat the eggs. Place the flour in another shallow dish.
- Dip each chicken roll into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with flour.
- Fry the Rolls:
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken rolls for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Salad:
- Dice the boiled potatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
