👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Start by grabbing your thinly sliced chicken breast, add the seasonings and mix it well, then pan fry the chicken on medium to high heat until it cooks through and develops a nice char.
- 2
Once cooked, dice it into small cubes and set it aside.
- 3
In the same pan, cook some pepperoni until it's crispy, then add the chicken back in with some pizza sauce, light cream cheese, parmesan cheese, diced garlic and continue cooking until creamy.
- 4
Add some hot sauce, some parsley and mix well to combine.
- 5
Grab a warm tortilla, equally distribute the filling with some light mozzarella and roll it up nice and tightly.
- 6
Repeat for the other 14 rolls.
- 7
Spray them with some cooking oil, add more parmesan and oregano, then bake until crispy.
- 8
Wrap them up, store them in the fridge or freezer and reheat when ready to eat.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Butterfly your chicken breasts to 0.5-0.75 inch thickness, then pound to even 0.375 inches before seasoning to ensure uniform cooking in 6-8 minutes and maximize surface area for Maillard browning.technique0.375 inch thickness | 6-8 minutes cook time
- ✓Cook pepperoni at 375°F for 3-4 minutes until edges curl and fat renders (releasing 60-70% of its oils), which concentrates umami flavors and prevents grease pooling in your filling.timing375°F | 3-4 minutes | 60-70% fat rendered
- ✓Use 160g cream cheese at room temperature (68°F) and fold it into the hot chicken mixture off-heat for 45 seconds to achieve creamy sauce without breaking; temperatures above 140°F cause protein denaturation and separation.ingredient68°F room temp | 140°F max temperature | 45 second fold
- ✓Roll tortillas to 11-inch diameter and fill with exactly 85-90g of filling (measured by weight) positioned 1.5 inches from the bottom edge, then roll tightly with 2-inch overlap to create structural integrity that prevents splitting during baking.technique85-90g filling per roll | 1.5 inch offset | 2 inch overlap
- ✓Bake at 400°F for 18-22 minutes with rolls seam-side down; the high heat creates moisture loss of 25-30%, causing tortilla edges to crisp while cream cheese interior reaches 165°F for food safety.timing400°F | 18-22 minutes | 25-30% moisture loss | 165°F internal temp
