Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Scrolls

Jump to Recipe

Soft bread scrolls filled with creamy shredded chicken and topped with golden cheese. Serve your cheesy buffalo scrolls 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.

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

Recipe FAQs:

What is Buffalo Chicken?

Buffalo chicken is chicken cooked in a special hot sauce. It gets its name from a bar in Buffalo, New York, where the first Buffalo Chicken wings were served in 1964.

Could I use leftover roast or rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken works great and saves time.

Storage:

Store leftover scrolls in the fridge. Once the scrolls have cooled completely, wrap them in cling film or place in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Store them in the fridge as opposed to the pantry doe to the chicken.

You can freeze the uncooked scrolls. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Top tips:

Feel free to add ingredients like diced jalapeños, cooked bacon, or other cheeses for extra flavour.
