Method

Preparing the Cannelloni

  1. Boil and Mash the Potatoes: Start by boiling the potatoes until they are tender. Once cooked, drain and mash them until smooth.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the eggs, salt, pepper, cumin, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add Flour: Gradually add the flour to the potato mixture, stirring until you get a smooth dough-like consistency. The dough should be firm enough to hold its shape but still soft and pliable.

Preparing the Filling

  1. Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the Chicken: Add the cooked and shredded chicken breast to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few more minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
  3. Mix in the Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated cheese. Let it melt and mix thoroughly with the chicken and vegetables.

Assembling the Potato Rolls

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Take a portion of the potato dough and flatten it into a rectangular shape on a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling along one edge of the rectangle.
  2. Roll the Dough: Carefully roll the potato dough over the filling to form a cylinder. Press the edges to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.
  3. Brush with Oil: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
  4. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle additional grated cheese on top of the rolls for extra flavor and a nice cheesy crust.

Baking

  1. Bake: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Bake the potato rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on top.

Serving

  1. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Tips and Variations

  • Cheese Variations: Try using different types of cheese such as mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda for a different flavor profile.
  • Spicy Kick: Add some chopped jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes to the filling for a spicy kick.
  • Vegetable Additions: You can add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach to the filling for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Herb Enhancements: Fresh herbs like thyme, oregano, or cilantro can be added to the potato dough or filling for extra flavor.

Nutritional Information

These potato rolls are a balanced meal with carbohydrates from the potatoes, protein from the chicken, and fats from the cheese and olive oil. Adjust portion sizes to fit your dietary needs and preferences.

Storage and Reheating

  • Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.

These soft and cheesy chicken stuffed potato rolls are a delightful and satisfying dinner option. With minimal ingredients and simple steps, you can create a delicious meal that your whole family will love.

Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Potato Rolls

  1. Even Mixing: Ensure the potato dough is mixed evenly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture.
  2. Proper Sealing: Seal the edges of the rolls well to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
  3. Golden Finish: Brushing the rolls with oil helps achieve a beautiful golden-brown finish.
  4. Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.
