  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2

    Remove any bones or excess skin from the 8 chicken thighs, if necessary, then grind the chicken using a meat grinder.

  • Step 3

    Season the ground chicken with salt and black pepper to taste. You may also add your preferred seasonings if desired.

  • Step 4

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs and 6 tablespoons mayonnaise until evenly combined.

  • Step 5

    Add the 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese to the egg mixture and stir well.

  • Step 6

    Line a 15 × 10.5-inch baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Step 7

    Spread the egg-and-cheese mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet.

  • Step 8

    Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, until the egg-and-cheese layer is set.

  • Step 9

    Remove it from the oven and carefully peel away the aluminum foil. A serving knife or spatula can help release the layer without tearing it.

  • Step 10

    Spread the seasoned ground chicken evenly over the entire baked egg-and-cheese sheet.

  • Step 11

    Starting from one of the long sides, carefully roll everything into a tight roulade.

  • Step 12

    Wrap the roulade tightly in parchment paper, sealing the ends.

  • Step 13

    Wrap it twice with aluminum foil, twisting and tucking the ends securely.

  • Step 14

    Return the wrapped roulade to the oven and bake at 350°F for 1 hour 30 minutes.

  • Step 15

    Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

  • Step 16

    Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, then slice the roulade thinly and serve cold.
