Chicken Braġjoli
This is Ch-EAT's chicken variation of this famous Maltese dish. Also cooked in a Crock-Pot and I must say that the result is really satisfying.

Ingredients:
400g Minced Beef (chicken or pork mince are also good)
1 Raw Egg
2tbsp Fresh Parsley
1tbsp Grated Parmesan
2 Hard Boiled Eggs
1tbsp Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
8 Deboned chicken thighs (you can use breast instead)
4 Slices Mozzarella
8 Slices Streaky Bacon
1 Chopped Onion
2 Sliced Carrots
1tbsp Butter
1tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
200g Button Mushrooms
1/2tsp Mixed Herbs
1/2tsp Corn Flour
400ml Chicken Stock
Directions:
1.Let's start with the filling. In a bowl combine together the meat mince, raw egg, parsley, Parmesan, breadcrumbs and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Season with salt & pepper.
2.Now let's prepare the chicken. Place a plastic bag on a chopping board and place 2 chicken thighs side by side. If using chicken breast slice it in half.
3.Place another plastic bag on top and flatten the chicken using a meat mallet. A heavy rolling pin will work fine as well.
4.Put a slice of mozzarella and about 2 tablespoons of filling.
5.Using the bottom plastic bag tightly roll the chicken.
6.Place 2 bacon slices diagonally under the chicken and roll them around the chicken roll. These will give it a lot of flavour and will help the chicken keep its shape. You don't need any toothpicks.
7.Let's start with the sauce. We are using our Crock-Pot for this recipe. Press the Brown/Sauté and Start. Wait until it gets hot.
8.Add the olive oil and butter followed by the onion.
9.Fry the onion for 5 minutes then add the carrots, mushrooms, and dry herbs. Fry for a further 3 minutes stirring constantly.
10.Carefully place the braġjoli on top.
11.Combine the cornflour with the chicken stock. Make sure not to leave any lumps. This will help the sauce get thicker.
12.Add the stock to the pot and cover.
13.Place the steam knob on the seal position and choose the Meat/Stew function. Press Start.
14. Once ready, carefully remove the steam and uncover.
15.Serve with mashed or baked potatoes.
16.Enjoy!
