Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (500g) ground chicken
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Binding and Pastry Ingredients:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the cooking environment by heating the oven to 400F (200C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Create a flavor-packed filling by thoroughly blending ground chicken with breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, cutting each sheet into two long, equal rectangles to maximize pastry usage.
- Form the chicken mixture into four uniform logs, positioning each centrally along the pastry rectangles with precision.
- Carefully fold one pastry edge over the filling, then gently roll to create a tight seal, pressing the seam with fingertips to ensure a secure closure.
- Position the rolled logs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining even spacing between each roll.
- Slice each pastry log into smaller bite-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 inches in length for convenient serving.
- Enhance the exterior by brushing the rolls with beaten egg and optionally garnishing with sesame or poppy seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the pastry achieves a golden, crisp exterior and the chicken filling is completely cooked through.
- Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving, accompanying them with honey mustard dipping sauce or ketchup for an extra flavor dimension.
Notes
- Perfectly seal pastry edges by pressing firmly with fingertips to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Chill mixed chicken filling for 15-20 minutes before assembling rolls to help maintain shape and enhance flavor blending.
- Use lean ground chicken breast for healthier version, ensuring mixture stays moist with added mustard and honey.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs and use gluten-free puff pastry.
