How to Make Potato Rolls with Chicken

Step 1: Prepare the Potato Rolls

  1. In a small bowl, warm the milk to about 110°F (you can do this in the microwave). Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the milk and stir until dissolved. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes, or until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the flour mixture. Mix until everything is combined and forms a soft dough.
  4. Knead the dough for about 5–7 minutes until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise for about 1–1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling

  1. While the dough is rising, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, then stir in the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until the cheese has melted and the chicken is coated in the creamy filling.
  3. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly. If desired, stir in fresh parsley for added freshness and flavor.

Step 3: Assemble the Potato Rolls with Chicken

  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
  2. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it out into a small disc about 4 inches in diameter.
  3. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each disc.
  4. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal. Roll the filled dough ball into a smooth shape.
  5. Place the rolls seam-side down on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are close together but not touching. Cover with a cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  3. Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
