Method
Follow these easy steps to create your own delicious Chicken & Sweetcorn Breadrolls:
Step 1: Sauté Onions and Garlic
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan.
- Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
- Add the 500g of chicken breast (cut into small pieces) to the pan.
- Season with 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 tsp chili flakes.
- Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked.
Step 3: Thicken the Mixture
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp of plain flour over the chicken mixture.
- Stir well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the 125 ml of whole milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens (about 2-3 minutes on a low simmer).
Step 4: Add Cream Cheese and Sweetcorn
- Once the mixture has thickened, add 50g of cream cheese and 150g of sweetcorn.
- Mix everything well until the cream cheese has melted and the ingredients are well combined.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
Step 5: Prepare the Bread
- While the mixture is cooling, remove the crusts from the slices of white bread.
- Roll out each slice with a rolling pin until thin and flat.
Step 6: Fill and Seal the Breadrolls
- Once the chicken mixture has cooled, you can add 100g of shredded mozzarella if you want extra cheesy breadrolls.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the filling onto each rolled-out bread slice.
- Mix a small amount of flour with water to create a sealing paste.
- Brush the edges of the bread with the flour-water paste and pinch to seal well.
- Optionally, you can also seal the edges with a fork for extra security.
Step 7: Coat the Breadrolls
- In a bowl, beat 3 eggs with 4 tbsp of milk to create an egg wash.
- Dip each sealed breadroll into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Roll the breadrolls in 150g of breadcrumbs until they are evenly covered.
Step 8: Fry the Breadrolls
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to medium heat.
- Fry the breadrolls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per batch).
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!
- Once all the breadrolls are fried and crispy, serve them hot.
- Enjoy your delicious Chicken & Sweetcorn Breadrolls with your favorite dipping sauces!
Tips for Success
- Preparation: Make sure to have all ingredients prepped and measured before starting the cooking process.
- Cooling the Filling: It’s important to let the chicken mixture cool completely before filling the bread. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
- Sealing: Ensure the edges are sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
- Frying: Maintain a medium heat while frying to ensure the breadrolls cook evenly and achieve a golden brown color.
These Chicken & Sweetcorn Breadrolls are sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of flavors and textures makes them irresistible. Happy cooking!
