How to make Rolled Chicken
Chicken
- Step 1
Completely debone the chicken, taking care not to tear the skin.
- Step 2
Spread out all the meat over the skin. Season with salt and green pepper.
Filling
- Step 1
On the chicken meat, place the black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and grated cheese. Season with thyme, parsley, oregano, rosemary, and basil.
- Step 2
Distribute the hard-boiled eggs evenly. Roll the chicken, closing edge to edge so the chicken skin doesn’t end up inside the roll.
- Step 3
Wrap the roll in aluminum foil, previously brushed with a bit of oil. Cook in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Garnish
- Step 1
Heat the cherry tomatoes in a pan with olive oil until they burst.
- Step 2
Add balsamic vinegar and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of aromatic herbs.
