- 100 grams of mozzarella cheese, grated (for topping)
- 150 grams of carrots, thinly sliced
- 15 grams of fresh parsley, finely chopped

For the Salad:
- 200 grams of green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 200 grams of red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 cucumbers, sliced
- 150 grams of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 100 grams of canned corn, drained
- 30 grams of mayonnaise
- 8 grams of salt
- 10 grams of garlic, minced
Instructions:
Chicken Rolls:
- Prepare the Chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness by pounding them gently. This helps in even cooking and easy rolling.
- Season: Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper for flavor.
- Stuff: Place slices of mozzarella cheese and thinly sliced carrots on one end of each chicken breast. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for an added burst of freshness.
- Roll: Carefully roll up the chicken breasts, securing them with toothpicks if necessary to keep the filling inside.
- Cook: In a large skillet, heat a bit of plant oil over medium heat. Add the chicken rolls, cooking until they’re golden brown on all sides and cooked through, approximately 7-10 minutes per side.
- Top and Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the cooked chicken rolls in a baking dish, top with grated mozzarella, and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
Fresh Salad:
- Combine Vegetables: In a large salad bowl, mix together thinly sliced green and red cabbage, sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and drained canned corn.
- Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, and salt until well combined.
- Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until the vegetables are well coated. Adjust seasoning to taste.
To Serve:
Arrange the chicken rolls on a platter and serve alongside the fresh salad. This meal not only offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures but also brings a colorful presentation to your table. The creamy, stuffed chicken rolls paired with the crisp, tangy salad create a perfectly balanced and wholesome meal. Enjoy the homemade goodness of every bite!
