Lemon juice: 5 cups
Tomato juice: 2 cups
Salt, black pepper, red pepper, turmeric: To taste
Cinnamon: To taste
Prepare the Chicken:
Cut the chicken breast in half along the breastbone without tearing it apart.
Use a knife to carefully open each piece from the center, creating flat, thin fillets.
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, red pepper, turmeric, olive oil, grated onion, and lemon juice.
Coat the chicken fillets in the marinade and let them sit in the refrigerator for 6–7 hours.
Prepare the Carrots:
Boil or steam the carrots whole until tender.
Flatten the Chicken:
Place the marinated chicken fillets between two layers of plastic wrap or inside a freezer bag.
Use a meat mallet to pound them until they are evenly flattened.
Assemble the Roll:
Remove the chicken from the plastic wrap and lay it flat on a tray.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, turmeric, and cinnamon.
Spread a layer of chopped herbs evenly over the surface.
Place the cooked carrot in the center.
Roll the chicken tightly and secure it with clean cooking string to prevent it from opening during cooking.
Cook the Roll:
Place the rolled chicken in a cooking pot.
Add tomato juice, a pinch of salt, and turmeric.
Cook gently over low heat until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Serve:
Once cooked, remove the rolls from the pot and carefully cut off the string.
