Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 package of puff pastry sheets (or crescent roll dough)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Shred the Chicken:
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it using two forks into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Assemble the Rolls:
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a clean surface. Cut each sheet into squares (about 4-5 inches).
Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of each square.
Carefully fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, creating a sealed roll. Pinch the seams to ensure they stay closed.
Bake the Rolls:
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the rolls to give them a golden finish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve the chicken and cheese rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.
Storage: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to keep them crispy.
Freezing: These rolls freeze well! You can freeze unbaked rolls on a baking sheet, and once frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
