A tender and juicy chicken roll with a savory garlic-cheese filling, baked to a golden brown crust.

Preparing a dish like a chicken breast roll is a great way to transform ordinary chicken meat into an exquisite dinner. This chicken breast roll turns out incredibly tender thanks to the correct meat preparation technique. The main secret to keeping your chicken breast roll juicy lies in pounding the fillet thin, which allows the cheese and garlic filling to distribute evenly and permeate the fibers from the inside. We use chicken fillet, which is an excellent source of protein, while the filling adds the necessary flavor accents. Baking in the oven makes this dish healthier compared to frying, preserving all the nutrients. Fragrant paprika gives the meat a beautiful golden hue, and the melted cheese creates a creamy texture inside. This recipe is perfect for those who watch their figure but don't want to give up delicious food. Serve it with vegetables or a light side dish. Don't forget to let the meat "rest" after the oven so the juices seal inside. This approach guarantees every piece will melt in your mouth. You can supplement the filling with herbs or mushrooms, but the classic combination of cheese and garlic always remains a win-win option for a family lunch or a holiday table.

Ingredients

400 g Chicken fillet (2 large fillets)
50 g Hard cheese (about 1/2 cup grated)
2 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Paprika

Instructions

1
Cut each chicken fillet lengthwise, not all the way through, to open it like a book.
2
Cover the meat with plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness of about 0.5–1 cm.
3
Salt and pepper the meat on both sides. Press the garlic through a press and rub it onto the inside of the fillet.
4
Sprinkle the inside with the grated cheese.
5
Roll the meat tightly into rolls and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
6
Mix the olive oil with the paprika and brush the rolls on the outside for color and aroma.
7
Place in a baking dish and put in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 25–30 minutes.
8
Before slicing, let the finished chicken fillet stand for 5 minutes, then remove the twine or toothpicks.

Chef's Tips

•To prevent the cheese from leaking out too much, try to leave the edges of the fillet without filling when rolling.
•If the fillet is very dry, you can add a small piece of butter inside.
•For a more vibrant flavor, you can add finely chopped parsley or dill to the filling.
