    thin-sliced chicken breasts
  • For seasoning the chicken
  • 1 tablespoon
    butter

    oil
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • Cardamom powder, to taste
  • Fresh grated nutmeg, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top if available.

  • Lay the thin chicken breasts flat, making sure they are even in thickness.

  • Melt butter with oil. Add mastic (if using), salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cardamom. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.

  • Add a small amount of minced meat to each chicken breast, then top with 1–2 slices of hard- boiled egg.

  • Roll the chicken tightly, pressing gently as you roll to fully enclose the filling.

  • Coat each roll in flour, then dip in beaten egg, then roll in bread crumbs.

  • Heat oil in a pan. Fry each chicken roll for 1–2 minutes, just until lightly golden.

  • Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until cooked through.
