Homemade Chicken Sausage Rolls – Indulgence galore

These appetizing homemade chicken sausage rolls are amazingly quick and easy to prepare. Whipped together in less than an hour, this is the type of snack or light lunch that one can easily over-indulge in. They are really that good.

Make these homemade chicken sausage rolls with pre-rolled, butter puff pastry. Roll the seasoned minced chicken meat into a long sausage on the edge of a pastry sheet. Next, roll the pastry sheet into a sausage with the minced chicken meat in the center. To get that beautiful golden colour, apply egg wash on the sausage rolls and pop them into the oven. It’s that simple! You can play around with some fresh herbs you have on hand for some extra flavour.

Cut these homemade chicken sausage rolls into small bite-size pieces as appetizers. Or, cut them into long sausage rolls and serve them as a light meal. They are perfect for your kids’ or partner’s lunch boxes for a pleasant lunchtime surprise.

If you have made some extra sausage rolls for another time, freeze them in an airtight freezer container for up to one month. Just ensure that they are thoroughly defrosted before baking them in the oven.

Ingredients

• 2 rolls of butter puff pastry (thawed)

• 600 g lean chicken mince 

• 1 tablespoon lemon and rosemary seasoning or any seasoning you prefer

• ½ cup cheddar cheese, grated 

• ¼ cup cold water

• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

• 1 egg

• ¼ cup milk

• smoked paprika to sprinkle

Method

• Preheat oven to 220°C / 428°F.
