Creamy cheesy chicken filled inside soft and fluffy dinner rolls or homemade buns. These are the best meal for weeknight dinner, lunch or snack and a great appetizer for a party.
Doesn’t these rolls look amazing? When you bite into it, it will hit you with the most pleasant burst of flavors. The creamy chicken tucked inside is awesome. I can’t decide which part I like more, the the buns or the filling.
You can make the buns alone to use as dinner rolls and similarly you can have the creamy chicken inside flatbread or wrap. Please do give this recipe a try.
