How to make crispy chicken rolls

Cook the filling

Heat olive oil in a pan. Cook onion and garlic for 2 minutes, then add chicken, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook until done and let cool slightly.

Fill and roll

Mix the chicken with grated cheese. Place a portion on each sheet, fold the sides in and roll tightly.

Coat the rolls

Dip each roll in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Press gently so the crumbs stick evenly.

Cook until golden

Pan-fry over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until crisp and golden. Drain briefly on paper towels.

Conclusion

Crispy chicken rolls are easy to prepare ahead and cook just before serving. Keep the filling moist and the coating even for the best crunch.
