Cook with Anisa

I always debated to post this Chicken Filled Buns recipe or not, the kids and I love them but Adam is not so keen, he reckoned you guys wouldn't be either, as it happens you loved them so much, I featured them in my first book, The Ramadan Cookbook! 👌✌️🥰

So tell me, what do you think? 😋 OR 😬?

Ideal for Ramadan Iftar, lunch, school lunchbox, days out or picnics. You can also make the Buns plain without the filling, so you can have with Soup.

Ingredients 👇
400grams chicken pieces.
2 tblsp oil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp red Jalapeño
1 tsp Aromat
1 tsp lemon pepper
1 tsp ginger/garlic paste
3 tbls tomato ketchup
5 tbls peri peri sauce
6 tblsp Sweetcorn
Chopped corriander leaves

Ingredients 👇
Bun Dough
4 cups plain flour
1 tbls sugar
2 tbls melted butter
1/2 cup warm milk and water mixed
7grams yeast
2 tbls milk powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 beaten egg
1 tbls cream
Sesame seeds for deco

Method 👇
In a bowl add flour, salt, sugar, yeast and milk powder.
Add melted butter and slowly pour the milk and water mixture as required to make a soft dough.

With lightly oiled hands knead the dough into a ball and cover with a cloth and leave to rise, for approx 45mins, it will double in size.

To make the filling. In a pot add oil, chicken, ginger/garlic, lemon pepper, red Jalapeño, oregano, aromat, salt, ketchup and peri peri sauce.
Cook till water evaporates and chicken is done. Leave aside and when mixture is cooled down, shred the chicken and add sweetcorn.

After rising the dough, Knock it down, knead lightly again. Divide the dough into 3" round balls. Press the middle and add approx tsp of the filling and carefully roll the dough over making sure the filling doesnt come out and roll into a ball. Line them up in a tray and allow to rise once again for 20mins.

Brush each roll with the egg and cream mixture and sprinkle se same seeds.

Bake in oven on 180 degrees for 25mins until golden brown.
