Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Place them in a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove from the oven, let cool, and then shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chilies, and pepper jack cheese.

  4. 4

    Drizzle in the balsamic vinegar and curry oil, then mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Puff Pastry

    Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.

  6. 6

    Cut each sheet into rectangles, roughly 6 inches by 8 inches, ensuring you have enough rectangles to fold over the filling.

  7. 7

    Fill and Fold the Strudel

    Place a generous amount of the chicken mixture in the center of each pastry rectangle.

  8. 8

    Fold the sides of the pastry over the filling, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other to form a strudel. Ensure the seams are sealed well.

  9. 9

    Bake the Strudel

    Place the strudels seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  10. 10

    Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each strudel for a golden finish. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

  11. 11

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

  12. 12

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm as a shared plate.
