Chicken Swiss Bundles
Aug. 17th, 2021 05:13 amThis week I thought I'd try something a little different, so I made Chicken Swiss Bundles, which are essentially homemade Hot Pockets. The recipe comes from the tasteofhome 2012 Annual Recipes cookbook.

Thoughts and Variations
I used about 1 cup of mushrooms, because I had portobellos in the fridge that I wanted to use up. I cubed and cooked two chicken breasts, so the amount of chicken was probably closer to two cups than one. I didn't have honey mustard, so I used half a tablespoon each of honey and dijon mustard and that seemed to work okay. I didn't know what kind of frozen dinner rolls the recipe wanted (though I suspect now that they wanted *uncooked* ones), so I simply bought a bag of 12 "pee wee bun rolls" and used those.
For cooking, I used oil with the onions and mushrooms instead of butter, and I accidentally threw the garlic in at the same time. Because my rolls were already baked (and they were puffy) they didn't flatten down very well, though the top bun was worse than the bottom. The filling came together rather nicely and is tasty all on it's own, though because of the rolls I used, it got a little lost in the finished product.
This one felt like more work than it was worth to me, though perhaps it would have been easier if I used actual frozen dinner rolls. I still don't know exactly what the recipe was looking for though; my best guess is that it meant frozen dough that was ready to cook into dinner rolls. The flavours were pretty good though, so perhaps I will make the filling again and simply eat it plain, or with rice or tortilla shells.
