Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 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
Dough and Topping
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Ranch dressing, for drizzling
- Extra buffalo sauce, for drizzling
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the cream cheese, shredded rotisserie chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and buffalo sauce until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Roll Out Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a 9×12-inch rectangle, taking care to maintain an even thickness for consistent baking.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, tightly roll the pastry into a log shape, sealing the edges to prevent filling leakage. Slice the log into 1-inch pieces carefully.
- Brush with Egg Wash and Bake: Arrange the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each piece with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish when baked. Bake for 15–18 minutes until the roll-ups turn golden brown. For extra warmth and flavor, optionally top with some reserved buffalo chicken mixture and bake for an additional 6–8 minutes.
- Serve: Once baked, drizzle the roll-ups with extra buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, then serve warm to enjoy the melty, spicy filling.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, but cooked shredded chicken breast can be substituted.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spiciness.
- Make sure puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling for best results.
- Egg wash ensures a shiny, golden crust but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be reheated in the oven.
