Baked Chicken Roll

This baked savory roll is made with a soft egg-based dough and filled with shredded chicken, sautéed onions, and sour cream. Simple, rich, and best served warm.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 2 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 egg yolks
• 4 egg whites (beaten to stiff peaks)
• Pinch of salt

For the filling:

• 1 whole chicken
• 3 medium onions, finely chopped
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 egg whites (beaten to stiff peaks)
• 3 tablespoons sour cream

For topping:

• Additional sour cream for brushing

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, heat the milk and whisk in the flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
2. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in the salt, egg yolks, and gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
3. Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking sheet. Bake until set and lightly golden.
4. Turn the baked dough out onto a kitchen towel and roll it up while warm. Let cool completely.

Prepare the filling:

1. Sauté the chopped onions until soft.
2. Add chopped chicken pieces (pre-cooked or sautéed until the meat pulls away from the bone).
3. Remove the meat from the bones, grind or finely chop it, then combine with egg yolks, whipped egg whites, and sour cream.
4. Carefully unroll the cooled dough, spread the filling evenly, and roll it back up.
5. Place the roll in a baking dish, brush with sour cream, and bake for another 15 minutes.
6. Serve warm.
