Chicken rolls with prunes in the oven

4 servings

60 minutes

Chicken rolls with prunes are a refined dish that combines the tenderness of chicken fillet, the creamy softness of cottage cheese, and the sweet fruity note of prunes. This recipe was born at the intersection of European culinary traditions, where harmony of flavors and exquisite combinations of ingredients are valued. Prunes soaked in the aroma of butter and garlic give the rolls a special depth of flavor, while the crispy crust from breadcrumbs makes each tasting moment special. Baked in the oven to a golden crust, these rolls are perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family gathering. They are good as a standalone dish but especially shine when accompanied by fresh vegetables or tender mashed potatoes.
