Delicious mozzarella chicken pepperoni croissant rolls recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 count) refrigerated croissant rolls
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Open croissant rolls and separate them slightly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
  3. Step 3: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce inside each croissant. Top with a spoonful of the chicken mixture, a few slices of pepperoni, and a slice of mozzarella cheese.
  4. Step 4: Close the croissant rolls, pinching the edges to seal. Brush the tops with the remaining olive oil.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the rolls.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
  • For a perfectly crispy reheating experience, briefly warm the rolls in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve these irresistible rolls as a fun appetizer, alongside a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal.
  • To prevent the mozzarella from becoming too stringy, ensure it's slightly chilled before adding it to the rolls.
