Ingredients

  • ½ small onion
  • 4 bread slices
  • ½ cup leftover chicken breast, shredded
  • ½ cup mozarella cheese
  • 2-3 tbsp butter
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Thinly slice the onion and melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a pan on medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and spices to the pan, stirring to coat. Let the onions cook down until softened and set aside to cool.
  • Remove the crust from the slices of bread and roll out flat using a rolling pin. 
  • Add a small amount of shredded chicken, cheese, and onions to one end of the bread and roll it up into a log. Add a little cheese on the very end to help the rollups seal closed when pan frying.
  • Melt a little more butter on the same pan you used for the onions and cook roll-ups until all sides are brown. Slice and serve!

Notes

  • Use a bread that is easy to roll out. Some types of bread break apart easily and would not be ideal for this recipe. I use a rolling pin to roll out the bread, but if you don't have one on hand you can use a cup or any circular object!
  • These chicken and cheese bread rolls can be served with a dip or on their own!
