Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ½ cup bell peppers, finely diced
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

For the Rolls:

• 8 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• Cooking spray or oil, for baking/frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant, then add bell peppers. Stir in shredded chicken, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 2–3 minutes, remove from heat, and mix in cheese and parsley. Let cool slightly.

2. Shape the Bread Rolls
Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Flatten each slice gently with a rolling pin. Place 2 tbsp of filling in the center and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.

3. Coat the Rolls
Dip each roll in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

4. Cook

• For Baking: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place rolls on a greased baking sheet, spray lightly with oil, and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
• For Frying: Heat oil in a skillet and shallow fry rolls until crispy and golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels.

5. Serve
Enjoy hot with ketchup, garlic sauce, or your favorite dip.
