Chicken roulade in pomegranate jelly
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You'll need fresh pomegranate juice; it's easy to make—firmly squeeze the pomegranate on all sides with your hands, then make a hole and squeeze out the juice. One large pomegranate can yield up to 300 ml of juice! If you don't have a fresh pomegranate, don't worry—you can always buy a juice packet and make jelly from it. Good luck. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Roll the meat into a roulade; you can tie it with kitchen twine. I simply placed it on parchment in a deep rectangular dish. Put the roulade in the oven for about an hour at 180 degrees.

While the meat is baking, prepare the jelly. Squeeze the juice from a ripe pomegranate and strain it to remove the seeds. Dissolve the gelatin, combine it with the juice, and mix. You can add a spoonful of hot chili sauce to the jelly.
