Step-by-Step Professional Preparation

1. Base blend: Cut the chicken breast into cubes and place it in a food processor or powerful grinder. Add the organic egg, oregano, pepper, and Bonsalt . Blend well until you get a fine, smooth mixture.

2. Adding the tomato: Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and add them to the mixture. Process for a few more seconds so they are evenly distributed without breaking down completely.

3. Shaping the roll: Place a large piece of plastic wrap on the countertop. Pour the mixture into the center and shape it into a cylinder about 20 cm long and about 3 fingers thick.

4. Sealing: Wrap the mixture with the plastic wrap, being careful not to leave any large air bubbles. Press down and close the ends like a candy, rolling the log over the surface so it becomes well compacted. Tie the ends to secure the seal.

5. Cooking technique: Place the roll on a microwave-safe plate and cover it. Cook for 2 minutes at medium-high power (approx. 650W). Remove, turn it over, and cook for another 2 minutes. If you notice any very soft spots, give it an additional 1 minute.

6. Cooling and resting: Let the chicken rest inside the microwave (turned off) for 5 minutes. Remove it and, once it reaches room temperature, refrigerate it wrapped in the same plastic wrap so it doesn't lose moisture.

Nutritionist Tips

This chilled chicken is a great source of high-quality protein. By including sun-dried tomato, we add an extra dose of potassium and lycopene (a powerful antioxidant). Using Bonsalt is key in this recipe to avoid the hidden sodium often found in commercial cold cuts, making it an ideal option for people with hypertension.

To store it, keep it always wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container; it can last up to a week in perfect condition. If you want a different touch, add it diced to your salads or serve it in thin slices on whole-grain toast with avocado.
