Chicken breast rolls with carrots in onion leek looks very similar to traditional Japanese sushi, and to taste it is a tender chicken cutlet with a piece of carrot in sweet leek. Rolls can be prepared in advance and served at the table as a snack instead of traditional sausage, it is beautiful, wholesome, or, as it is now fashionable to say, the right food.
I cooked minced rolls from pre-marinated chicken breast fillet with quail eggs and a small amount of browned onion. Leek, in which the rolls are wrapped, housewives are usually either thrown out (the green part of the leek is quite stiff), or added to the broth for color and flavor, and you can use these leaves to make rolls or stuffed cabbage, which name you prefer.
You should know that the leek is a very gentle vegetable and does not tolerate long-term heat treatment, so rolls thin (the thickness should be similar to the leek stem) so that they cook quickly.

Method of cooking chicken breast roll in leek onion
I always advise to marinate chicken fillet in advance, so if you have time, salt chicken, season with garlic, spices and leave in the refrigerator. She can marinate for 10 to 24 hours, then chop the chicken meat with a sharp knife or chop in a meat grinder. Cutlets, meatballs, meatballs from marinated chicken fillet always get juicy and tender.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil for frying, add a little butter, finely chopped leek, chopped celery stalk, and onions. Salt vegetables, simmer until soft, and when they cool, add vegetables and quail eggs to minced chicken.
Knead the minced meat well, if necessary add one tablespoon of semolina or ground crackers, form small cakes of minced meat. Fresh carrot cut into thin bars, blanch in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, so that the carrot is soft. In the middle of the cake, place the cooled carrot bar.
Peel off the largest green leek leaves. Put them for a few seconds in boiling water, then cool and cut the leaves from the leaves, suitable in size to the minced meat cakes. On the leek, place the meat with carrots and gently roll.
Cooking roll from chicken breast in leek is best steamed. To do this, a multi-cooker or a double boiler will work, in extreme cases, put a few bamboo sushi sticks at the bottom of the pan, pour water, and place the rolls so that they do not touch the water. Cook rolls for 5 minutes, make sure that the leek retains its brightness, the digested onions will get a brownish tint.
Cool the finished rolls from the chicken breast, brush with olive oil of the first cold press and cut thinly. Enjoy your meal!
