   • Begin by boiling water in a pot. Once the water is boiling, add the chicken breasts. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through, then remove from the water and allow to cool slightly.

2. Shred and Mash the Chicken:

   • After the chicken has cooled, shred it into small pieces. Use a mortar and pestle to mash the chicken slightly, but avoid over-processing. The aim is to retain some texture, giving the rollade a satisfying bite.

3. Mix the Filling:

   • Place the shredded chicken into a mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, finely chopped garlic, salt, black pepper, Royco seasoning, and ground nutmeg. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add additional breadcrumbs, but be careful not to overdo it as it may affect the flavor of the chicken.

4. Prepare the Roll:

   • Lay out a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface. If using, spread a thin layer of beaten eggs over the surface. This will help in creating a cohesive layer for the roll.
   • Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges. Place the julienned carrots on top of the chicken mixture.

5. Roll and Secure:

   • Carefully roll the mixture using the plastic wrap or parchment paper to help form a tight roll. Twist the ends of the wrap to secure the roll. Use a fork or knife to make small punctures along the roll to help it hold its shape during cooking.

6. Steam the Roll:

   • Heat a steamer over medium heat. Place the chicken roll in the steamer basket, making sure it is not overcrowded. Steam for about 30-40 minutes, or until the roll is cooked through and firm to the touch.

7. Finish and Serve:

   • Once steamed, the roll can be enjoyed immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice. For added flavor, you can also fry the roll after steaming or cook it with a sweet and sour sauce, adding onions and Royco seasoning to taste.

8. Optional Cooking Variations:

   • For additional flavors, you might want to cook the roll with a ready-made sweet and sour sauce, adding some onions and Royco seasoning. This gives the roll a deliciously tangy twist.

This Rollade Ayam Wortel is a delightful dish that’s sure to impress, whether served as a simple meal with a dipping sauce or as a main course in a more elaborate meal. Enjoy making and eating this Indonesian classic!
