Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Scrolls

Soft bread scrolls filled with creamy shredded chicken and topped with golden cheese. Serve them warm from the oven.

I wish you could taste these through the screen, they are so good! As I love a good filled scroll, I decided to create these new Cheesy Chicken Buffalo Scrolls for morning tea. They were incredibly tasty and filling. They are just the right balance between cheesy and a little spicy - I have added alternatives in the recipe notes if you are not a chilli fan. 

This recipe is made in two parts. First you create the dough, then the chicken filling. I used some cooked, leftover chicken breast that I had in the fridge. You could also use store bought cooked chicken or bake some before you start the dough.

I also have a great recipe for Creamy Shredded Chicken made in the slow cooker. Leftovers from that meal are perfect for adding into these scrolls.

How to make Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Scrolls:

To start, preheat the oven to 190°C fan bake and line a large tin with baking paper. Add the flour, salt, Italian herbs and baking powder to a large bowl or stand mixer and whisk together. Add the butter, milk and half of the grated cheese. Mix until all of the dry ingredients are damp, add extra milk if needed.

Mix together the chicken filling ingredients. Dust the bench with flour then shape dough into a large ball. Knead lightly to combine. Shape into a rectangle then use a rolling pin dusted in flour to roll dough about 1-2 cm thick.

Spread the filling evenly over the dough then roll up tightly. Cut dough into 12 even slices then place inside the lined baking tray. Sprinkle over the rest of the grated cheese and add extra chipotle sauce.

Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is golden on top and the dough is cooked through. These delicious scrolls are best served warm.
