Chicken rolls with cheese filling are a refined dish of European cuisine, captivating with their tenderness and rich flavor. The recipe is based on juicy chicken fillet enveloped in a creamy filling of cream cheese, aromatic cheddar, and fresh green onions. Lime sauce adds a tangy zest to the rolls, while the crispy breading provides textural contrast. Historically, such meat rolls emerged as a way to preserve the juiciness of meat and add new flavor nuances through the filling. This dish is perfect for a festive table or a cozy family dinner. Serve it hot so that the melted cheese fills each piece with warmth and rich aroma.
