Description
Golden, flaky pastry rolls filled with tender chicken, creamy cheese, and fresh courgette. These savory bites are perfect for brunch, snacks, or easy dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups cooked chicken breast, finely chopped
- 1 medium courgette (zucchini), grated and squeezed dry
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 large puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 1 egg yolk, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped chicken, grated courgette, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Lay the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface or parchment paper.
- Spread the filling evenly across the pastry, leaving a small border. Roll it up tightly like a log and slice into 1.5-inch pieces.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg yolk.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and puffed. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Squeeze courgette well to prevent soggy rolls.
- Use cold puff pastry for easier handling and flakier texture.
- Let rolls cool slightly before cutting for cleaner slices.
- Serve with garlic mayo or herb yogurt dip for extra flavor.
