Supporting Ingredients:
- 200 g (7 oz) mushrooms, finely chopped
- 10 ml (0.34 fl oz) oil, plus more for frying
- 5 g (0.18 oz) salt, plus extra for seasoning
- 10 ml (0.34 fl oz) lemon juice
- 4 g (0.14 oz) black pepper
- 150 g (5.3 oz) flour
- 300 g (10.6 oz) boiled potatoes, diced
- 30 g (1 oz) mustard
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 30 g (1 oz) celery, finely chopped

Instructions
- Tenderize chicken breasts to an even thickness, ensuring uniform texture. Infuse with zesty lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt for enhanced flavor.
- Sauté mushrooms in a skillet with minimal oil over medium heat until they release moisture and turn tender. Allow to cool completely.
- Create a creamy filling by combining cooled mushrooms with shredded mozzarella, finely chopped boiled eggs, rich mayonnaise, freshly ground black pepper, and melted cheese. Mix thoroughly.
- Spread a generous spoonful of filling across each flattened chicken breast, rolling tightly to seal the mixture inside. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Prepare coating station: dunk each roll first into whisked eggs, ensuring complete coverage, then coat evenly with flour for a crisp exterior.
- Heat oil in a large skillet to medium temperature (around 350°F). Carefully place rolls in hot oil, rotating periodically to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Cook for approximately 10 minutes, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove when exterior is crispy and golden, and chicken is fully cooked through.
- Let rolls rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and coating to set.
Notes
- Ensure chicken breasts are pounded evenly to guarantee uniform cooking and prevent dry spots in the meat rolls.
- Drain mushrooms thoroughly after sautéing to prevent excess moisture from making the filling soggy and compromising roll structure.
- Choose a low-moisture mozzarella to maintain the filling’s consistency and prevent leakage during frying.
- For gluten-free option, replace wheat flour with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs to create a crispy exterior without compromising dietary needs.
