Chicken roll-ups with cheese filling are a tender and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that combines the juiciness of chicken meat with the rich flavor of cheese filling. The history of such recipes dates back to the tradition of stuffing meat with various fillings, adding texture and depth of flavor.
