Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can prepare chicken rolls with cucumber for both everyday meals and any festive occasion. Tender, juicy, and very tasty, they will surely please everyone. You can serve them on their own or with any side dish. I suggest presenting this delicious dish on slices of fried oranges.

Step 5
Chop the herbs. Trim the "noses" and "tails" off the cucumbers if they haven't been cut already. Cornichons are ideal, but you can use small pickled cucumbers. If you only have large ones, simply cut them into 3-4 rectangular pieces. Now that everything is ready, start assembling the rolls. If you have a silicone mat, shape the rolls on it—it's very convenient! For each roll, place about 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs on the mat and put the filling on top. With wet hands, shape the filling into a flat patty.

Step 8
Form all the rolls in this way and fry them on both sides until cooked through on a well-heated skillet. About 4 minutes per side should be sufficient.

Step 9
You can serve the rolls on their own or with any side dish. I suggest serving them on orange slices. To do this, slice the oranges into rounds about 5-7 mm thick and sear them on both sides in a dry cast-iron skillet. Place one roll on each orange slice and serve. Very tasty and tangy!
