Method of cooking rolls with chicken
Delicious roll will turn out not only with fried chicken breast. Boiled chicken legs, thighs, or legs are also suitable for cooking this dish. We remove the skin, scrape the meat from the bones, disassemble the pulp into fibers. Add shallot sliced with thin rings, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika for flavor. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon, add table mustard. Mix the ingredients so that the lemon juice soaked the meat. While the marinating process is underway, let’s work on the vegetables.
Instead of the traditional green salad leaves, in the dietary version of the roll we put fresh cucumbers, which will give a lot of moisture. Cucumbers are peeled, cut into thin strips or plates, add to a salad bowl.
Ripe, red, fleshy tomatoes are chopped finely, add to cucumbers and meat. Sprinkle everything with sea salt, mix, and give the vegetables juice.
Add grated parmesan and extra virgin olive oil in a bowl, mix all ingredients. Sea salt will pull the moisture out of the vegetables, it will mix with lemon juice and olive oil and no sauce will be needed - the salad will be very juicy.
We place a portion of vegetables with meat on the edge of thin pita bread, level it so that there is free space on the sides (1.5 cm each). Finely chop the dill and cilantro, sprinkle with greens.
Fold the edges of the pita inside, roll up a dense roll. You can fry the roll in a dry frying pan to make the dough slightly redden. Just like shawarma, this roll is convenient to put in a paper bag or cut into small portions with a sharp knife.
Chicken Rolls - Caesar Roll is ready. Immediately serve to the table and ... bon appetit!
