Chicken and Cheese Sausage Rolls

These Chicken and Cheese Sausage Rolls are a great recipe to enjoy when sitting back watching the footy, as an easy midweek meal or for your next party!

This recipe is inspired by my Chicken and Vegetable Sausage Rolls which are always a big hit whenever I make them.  My boys love to eat anything encased in pastry, so I put together this recipe to try and come up with something a little different for them, which still smuggles a few veggies into their little tummies.

The addition of cheese to this recipe gives these Chicken Sausage Rolls a really yummy flavour and I also added corn, grated carrot and grated zucchini to the mix. If your kids are fussy and will spot the veggies (mine are little pigs and eat these too fast!) then you can easily leave the veggies out or substitute them for something your whole family will enjoy.

When putting together these sausage rolls, don’t be alarmed if the mixture is a little dry, the cheese will melt while they are cooking and they will be lovely and moist.  These Chicken and Cheese Sausage Rolls are also freezer friendly and I’ve made a couple of batches already to store in the freezer for easy lunches/snacks during this crazy time while we are all still adjusting to a newborn in the house – we are getting there though!
