Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, red onion, jalapeños, cheddar cheese, and cilantro.
- Mix well to ensure the filling is evenly coated with sauce.
Note: Always taste the filling before you stuff your rolls; it’s your last chance to tweak the flavors!
Step 2 – Prep the Pastry
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut each sheet into six squares.
Warning: Keep the puff pastry cold until just before use to prevent the butter from melting, which can ruin its layers.
Step 3 – Assemble the Rolls
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each square.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, press to seal.
Tip: Use a fork to crimp the edges of the rolls for a decorative touch and to ensure they stay sealed while baking.
Step 4 – Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the rolls on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Note: Watch the rolls closely as oven temperatures can vary; you want them perfectly golden!
Additional Tips
- Speed it up: For a quicker prep, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
- Spice level: Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your heat preference.
