1

Remove the breast fillet from the chicken.

2

Cut the breast into 1 cm or 2 cm slices or open it like a book to keep even thickness.

3

Place plastic wrap on the table and arrange the chicken slices on top, starting with the larger pieces.

4

Fill in any gaps with the smaller pieces of chicken.

5

Cover with plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound and seal the edges together.

6

Remove the plastic wrap and season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

7

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over the chicken surface.

8

In a bowl, mix 2 eggs and break them up.

9

Chop parsley and 2 cloves of garlic and add to the egg mixture.

10

Add 60 grams of grated cheese to the mixture and mix well.

11

Spread the egg mixture over the chicken, leaving one end free of filling.

12

Place 4 hard-boiled eggs in a row on the chicken.

13

Cut the carrot into thin strips and place them next to the eggs with a small gap.

14

Cut 1/2 red bell pepper into strips and add them as well, along with spinach if desired.

15

Using the plastic wrap, start rolling the chicken tightly, applying pressure as you go.

16

Seal the ends and tie them with the excess plastic wrap to secure the roll.

17

Wrap the roll again with plastic wrap in the same direction as before.

18

Tie the ends with kitchen twine, ensuring it is compact and secure.

19

Place the roll in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil.

20

Once boiling, cook for 1 hour, then let it cool completely in the water.

21

Refrigerate for at least 8 hours before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.

22

Remove the twine and plastic wrap, then heat some olive oil in a skillet.

23

Add the roll to the hot skillet and brown it on all sides for a few minutes.

24

Slice the roll into approximately 1 cm thick slices.
