Chicken and cheese in puff pastry

Before you start filling, we take out the puff dough from the freezer. Thaw it at room temperature. To prevent the top of the dough from drying when thawing, it is recommended to cover it with a towel. Let's deal with the filling. Carefully rinse the chicken fillet, dry it with a paper towel. We cut thick pieces along against the fibers.

Wrap each piece in cling film or put it in a plastic bag and beat it off. This can be done with a kitchen hammer or rolling pin. If there are small holes, then it's okay. Then salt the meat. If you want to give the dish a more savoury taste, you can add your favorite spices.

We roll out a layer of thawed puff dough a little. We do it neatly, without jerks. We roll out in a single movement. Otherwise, the layered structure of the dough may be disrupted. And in the end there will be just a cake.

On the rolled dough layer, lay out a broken piece of chicken fillet.

Put curd cheese on top of the fillet. We distribute it evenly over the surface of the meat. You can add a little chopped greens. As an addition to the meat filling, vegetables, such as bell peppers or tomato, are also perfect.

Then gently roll the chicken dough into a roll. Pinch the end of the dough so that the roll does not fall apart when baking.

With a sharp knife, cut each roll into two parts.

We cover the baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper. We lay out rolls. Don't put them close together. Puff dough rises when baked, the rolls will increase in size. And with too close a neighborhood, they can stick together.

To make the pastry blush, appetizing, brush it with yolk. This is easy to do with a silicone brush. If it is not there, then you can lubricate it with a homemade brush made of soft bandage. You can sprinkle sesame seeds on top. This way the rolls will look even more appetising. Put bake in the preheated oven to 190 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Serve with tea, coffee, milk and in a good mood. Enjoy your appetite and cook with pleasure
