Step 1
Take out the chicken. Separate the fillet from the bones in large pieces. This can be chicken breast or thighs. If you've bought already prepared chicken fillet, simply rinse it and place it on a cutting board. Take a special meat mallet and pound the chicken meat. Since chicken is tender, you can place a sheet of plastic wrap on top to prevent splattering.

Step 2
So, after pounding the chicken fillet, we need to marinate it a bit. For this, take spices. These can be dried garlic and onion, ground black and red pepper, as well as coriander and dried herbs. Rub the chicken fillet with all the spices you have, don't forget to add salt.

Step 3
I decided to add some mushrooms to the chicken roll, which I had left in the freezer from my last trip to the forest. For this, I placed them in a frying pan together with chopped onion and sautéed everything in sunflower oil. Then I spread this mixture onto the pounded chicken fillet that had already been seasoned with spices. I roll everything tightly into a roll and wrap it in foil.

Step 4
For extra security, you can additionally secure the foil with a food-grade rubber band. Place the roll into the air fryer on the upper rack. Bake for 30 minutes at 190-200 degrees. Then turn off the air fryer and leave the roll inside to cool completely.

Step 5
Once the roll has cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator for a couple of hours. This will help it set, allowing you to confidently slice it into thin rounds. Serve with any side dish or as an appetizer.
