Ingredients:

For the Chicken Filling:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 bell pepper (any color), finely diced

For the Roll Assembly:

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

• Flour, for dusting

• Additional cheese or herbs for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:

   • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

   • Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

   • Add the finely chopped chicken and cook until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.

   • Add the diced bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

   • Season with paprika, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.

   • Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined.

   • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

     
     

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry or Pizza Dough:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

   • If using puff pastry, roll out each sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out creases. If using pizza dough, roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness.

   • Cut the dough into rectangles or squares (about 4x4 inches).

     
     

3. Assemble the Rolls:

   • Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough rectangle.

   • Fold the dough over the filling to form a roll or a pocket. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork or pinching them together.

   • Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

     
     

4. Bake:

   • Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden color.

   • Optionally, sprinkle with additional cheese or herbs for extra flavor.

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.

     
     

5. Serve:

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. They are delicious on their own or with a dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or a spicy mayo.
