Ingredients
Buffalo Chicken Mixture
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 cups (280g) rotisserie chicken, shredded and chopped
- 1 cup (113g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup (113g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/3 cup (84g) buffalo sauce
Puff Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten
For Serving
- Ranch dressing, for drizzling
- Extra buffalo sauce, for drizzling
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded rotisserie chicken, mozzarella cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and buffalo sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a creamy, spicy filling.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a 9×12-inch rectangle, ensuring an even thickness to wrap the filling properly.
- Fill and Roll the Pastry: Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture across the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting at one end, tightly roll the pastry into a log shape, sealing the edges carefully to prevent filling leakage. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces.
- Bake the Roll-Ups: Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the pastry is a deep golden brown. For extra warmth and flavor, spoon additional buffalo chicken mixture on top and bake for an additional 6 to 8 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the roll-ups from the oven and drizzle with extra buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm as a spicy, creamy appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure easy mixing and a smooth filling.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or use a milder version.
- Puff pastry should be thawed but kept cold before rolling for best texture.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
