Chicken rolls with sweet pepper are a refined dish of Bulgarian cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken fillet with the juiciness and sweetness of bell peppers. This recipe likely originated from traditional Bulgarian cuisine, where fresh vegetables and simple yet rich flavors play a key role. Sweet pepper gives the rolls a vibrant color and subtle sweetness, while paprika enhances their aroma. The dish is perfect for both family dinners and festive tables. These rolls can be served with a side of fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a light sauce. Due to their simplicity and elegance, they satisfy even the most discerning gourmets, creating harmony of taste and texture on the plate.
