Cooking chicken rolls with prunes
1. Wash prunes and pat dry with a paper towel. Remove the pit, if present, and cut into small pieces.
2. Peel the garlic, rinse and chop finely.
3. Rinse the chicken fillet and pat dry well with a paper towel. Cut it lengthwise, like into chops, so that you get thin slices about 7-10 mm thick. Beat each bite on both sides with a hammer on the side with cloves.
4. Season the chicken rolls with salt, ground pepper and sprinkle with dried basil leaves. You can add any spices if you wish.
5. Spread the chopped prunes with garlic on the meat.
6. Roll the fillets into rolls. For safety reasons, you can fix them with a thread, spirally tying the meat.
7. Put the rolls on a baking sheet, which is pre-greased with vegetable oil and send to a preheated oven to 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Chicken meat cooks very quickly, so do not overcook it in the oven or it will dry out.
8. Serve the finished baked dish to the table. As I wrote above, you can serve it hot with boiled potatoes or other side dish, or chill it and make a sausage cut.
