Chicken Stuffed Buns Recipes

Steps:

• For the buns: First, warm milk by placing it in the microwave for 20 seconds or so. Add sugar to milk and mix well.
• Then, add in the active dry yeast and set aside for 10 minutes. The yeast should have "ballooned" by this time and be frothy.
• Add 1 cup (125 G) all purpose flour and 1 cup (125 G) whole wheat flour to a bowl and then add the milk/yeast mixture to it. Mix with a wooden spoon.
• Then, add in 1 (one) egg, salt and melted butter.
• Add in the other 2 cups (250 G) of wheat flour and mix well. At this point you can set the spoon aside and use your hands to knead the dough.
• When the dough is slightly tacky, place it in a large greased bowl. Wrap bowl with plastic wrap. Place a warmed towel over it and place in a dark dry place for 1 hour to proof.
• While the dough is proving, you can make the filling as follows:
• For the filling, first chop the onion and add it to a pan over a medium flame with the oil. Let saute for about 10 minutes, mixing as needed with a spatula.
• Chop the garlic and grate the ginger and then add these to the sauteing onion. Saute another 2 minutes or so. Then, push the onion mix to the side of the pan and add in the chicken.
• Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, coriander, cumin and turmeric and saute until all the liquid from the chicken has evaporated.
• Then, add in the tomato paste and salt and stir well. Add in the salt and pepper and chili powder if using. Season further to taste.
• Then add in the peas, saute another 2 minutes and set aside to cool a bit.
• To assemble the buns: When the dough has proofed and has doubled in size, remove the plastic wrap and towel and punch dough down. Then, split dough in 2. Wrap one part with plastic to keep moist and spread the other one out using a rolling pin.
• Use a bowl to cut circles into dough. Into each dough circle, spoon 2 or so tablespoons of filling.
• Seal the buns by flipping the sides over the filling and pinching them together. Then lay buns down, with sealed side on the bottom on a parchment lined baking tray. Repeat until all the dough and filling are used up.
• Preheat the oven to 175 degrees°F, place a damp towel over the stuffed buns and place them in the oven to proof for another 30 minutes. When they are done, they should be slightly bigger. At this point, remoove them from the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees °F.
• Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the buns.
• Sprinkle buns with sesame seeds and place in oven for 20-22 minutes.
• Finally, enjoy warm or at room temperature.
• *Note:* Buns can be reheated by placing in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast in warm water with 1/2 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tbsp flour. Leave aside for 10 mts.
• Boil the milk and cool till it is warm on touch. Add sugar, oil and salt.
• Mix well with a wooden spoon till the sugar dissolves. Add 1 cup flour and mix to a smooth paste.
• Add the beaten egg, yeast and mix. Add the remaining flour and mix well till it forms a smooth dough.
• Knead well for 10 mts. Let it rest till it doubles in volume (approx an hour or two). While its resting prepare the chicken filling.
• Punch down the dough lightly using your palm and divide the dough equally.
• Flatten each portion and fill with 1 tbsp of the chicken filling. Re-shape into a smooth ball. Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds.
• Let it sit/prove for another 20 minutes.
• Bake them in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees C for 10-12 mts. When it starts to brown, brush tops with egg white.
• FOR CHICKEN FILLING:.
• Heat oil in a heavy bottomed vessel, add the onions and saute for 4 mts. Add ginger garlic paste and saute for 4 mts.
• Reduce the heat, add the red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and garam masala powder and mix well.
• Add the shredded chicken and mix well. Add salt to taste. Cook for 3 mts.
• Turn off heat and cool. Add coriander leaves and mix.

Steps:

• Poach the chicken breasts in the chicken broth. Remove the chicken when cooked through and let cool until cool enough to handle.
• Shred the chicken with two forks or give it a whirl in the food processor. (I used my food processor and really liked the texture it gave the filling.).
• In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, half of the monterey jack and cheddar, jalapenos, green chiles, cumin, salt and pepper, corn, and salsa. Stir to combine well.
• Slice the bell peppers in half from top to bottom. Cut out the stem and remove the veins and seeds as best you can. Stuff with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese and the panko crumbs.
• Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The peppers should be fairly tender and the filling heated through.
