Homemade chicken sausage rolls suggestions

A lot of things are better made at home but when it comes to puff pastry, store-bought pastry is often perfect because it can take ages to make yourself. The chicken mince filling is easy to put together but you can get creative with it. One great way to spice things up is to add your favourite curry spices to the chicken filling.

Ingredients

  • 2 rolls 2 store-bought puff pastry (thawed)

  • 600 g 600 lean chicken mince 

  • 1 tbsp 1 lemon and rosemary seasoning or any seasoning you prefer

  • ½ cup ½ cheddar cheese, grated 

  • ¼ cup ¼ cold water

  • 1 tbsp 1 parsley, finely chopped

  • 1 1 egg

  • ¼ cup ¼ milk

  • smoked paprika to sprinkle

Method

  • Whisk the milk and egg for the egg wash.
  • On a floured sheet, cut the pastry sheets in half.
  • Divide the chicken minced meat in quarters. Add one quarter on each strip on the side, shape along one edge of each pastry strip to form a sausage. Repeat with the other sheet.
