Potato Rolls with Chicken Recipe

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, salt, melted butter, and egg. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix well.

3. Knead the dough: Gradually add warm water as needed and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Let it rise: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Chicken Filling:

1. Sauté onions & garlic: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until soft.

2. Season chicken: Add shredded chicken, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

3. Add moisture: Stir in mayonnaise/sour cream (if using) and parsley. Remove from heat and let it cool.

3. Assemble the Rolls:

1. Divide dough: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12-14 equal pieces.

2. Shape rolls: Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a small disc.

3. Add filling: Place 1-2 tbsp of chicken filling in the center, then seal the edges and reshape into a ball.

4. Second rise: Place rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

4. Bake the Rolls:

1. Preheat oven: 350°F (180°C).

2. Egg wash (optional): Brush rolls with beaten egg for a golden finish.

3. Bake: 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Serve Warm & Enjoy!

• Best served fresh out of the oven with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tip: You can also make these with leftover roasted or grilled chicken for extra flavor!
