Instructions
Step 1
For the roll, you can take any chicken fillet. This recipe contains chicken breast. Due to the fact that cheese, spices, butter will be added to it, it turns out to be juicy and very tasty. The cheese should be of good quality, not a cheese product. Defrost the fillet, if it is from the freezer. It is preferable to use chilled fillets. Prepare whatever is needed according to the recipe.
Step 2
It is better to buy dried apricots softer, so as not to soak it for a long time later. Wash dried fruits beforehand. Pour hot water over and let stand for about 10 minutes. If dried apricots are tough, steam them with boiling water and give more time to soften well.
Step 3
Take chicken breast. Cut the meat in portions into pieces for a roll. You can cut it into larger pieces, or you can cut it into smaller pieces, then the rolls will turn out to be small.

Melt the butter and anoint each piece with it. It is convenient to smear with a culinary brush. Sprinkle well with cheese, which should be grated on a coarse grater.
Step 7
Cut dried apricots into pieces or strips and spread them over the cheese.
Step 8
Next, roll the fillet with the filling into rolls and fasten well with a thread (tie) so that the roll keeps its shape. Do this with all the pieces of meat.
Step 9
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the rolls on both sides until golden brown.
