Description
Indulgent rolls filled with tender shredded chicken, savory ham, and gooey Swiss cheese, all enveloped in a luscious cream cheese mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for those rolls.
- Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced ham, melted Swiss cheese, and softened cream cheese. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if you’d like a bit more flavor.
- Prepare the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut them into rectangles. Aim for about 4×6 inches for manageable portions.
- Fill the rolls: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture on one end of each rectangle. Carefully fold the pastry over to encase the filling, ensuring you seal the edges well. A fork is great for crimping the edges securely.
- Egg wash for shine: Brush the tops of each roll with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden finish when baked.
- Bake the rolls: Place the prepared rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and puffed.
- Garnish and serve: Once removed from the oven, let the rolls cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and extra flavor before serving. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
