Preparation of chicken with tuna sauce without mayonnaise
In a bowl, break the eggs, add the fresh basil (washed and chopped), a pinch of salt, and the flour, mix well with the help of a hand whisk or a fork until all the ingredients are combined.
Heat the tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan, and once hot, pour in the eggs, cook over moderate heat until the surface is well set, then turn off and let cool.
Lay the chicken breast slices on a piece of parchment paper, making sure to slightly overlap the edges with each other, you should obtain a rectangle even if not perfect, cover with more parchment paper and with the meat tenderizer press the meat so that the slices stick well together and form a single surface.
Cover the chicken rectangle with the omelet (if necessary, trim it to match the edges), start rolling from the shorter side to form a roll, then tie the obtained roll well with kitchen twine.
In a pot, place all the vegetables cleaned of scraps and washed: onion, celery, parsley, carrots, add a pinch of coarse salt, add the chicken roll and put on the stove over high heat, from the moment it starts boiling, count 30 minutes of cooking.
At the end of cooking, remove the chicken roll and place it on a plate to cool, it must cool completely, it will take about 2/3 hours (much depends also on external temperatures).
Finely chop the tuna and capers and pour them into a bowl, then add the Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, oil, and cooking broth, mix well until everything is blended (in the end, you will get a creamy sauce with the same consistency as mayonnaise!), let it rest in the fridge until the chicken roll is cold.
Now that the chicken roll is well cold, remove all the kitchen twine and slice it into slices about half a centimeter thick, arrange them on a serving plate or large tray, cover all the slices with the tuna sauce.
Decorate with halved cherry tomatoes, drained capers, and fresh washed basil and parsley, let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving and enjoy your meal!
