Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 25 g unsalted butter
  • 20 ml olive oil
  • 500 g chicken thighs or chicken breast
  • 2 g cayenne powder (⅔ tsp)
  • 3 g red bell pepper powder (1 tsp)
  • 3 g onion powder (1 tsp)
  • 2 g garlic powder (⅔ tsp)
  • 2 g chicken seasoning (⅔ tsp)
  • 1 g dried parsley
  • 25 g sweet soy sauce
  • 10 g soy sauce
  • 15 g sambal chili paste
  • 100 ml heavy cream
  • 50 g grated cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)

Onion Mixture

  • 125 g yellow onion (approximately 1 medium onion)
  • 125 g grated cheese (cheddar or choice of cheese)
  • 5 g fresh parsley

For Serving

  • Cheddar or cheese as desired

Coating

  • Soft white rolls

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken mixture: Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces along with cayenne powder, red bell pepper powder, onion powder, garlic powder, chicken seasoning, and dried parsley. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is nearly done and well coated with spices. Stir in sweet soy sauce, sambal, soy sauce, and heavy cream. Increase heat to high and let the sauce thicken slightly, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  2. Add cheese to chicken: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the grated cheese until melted and well combined. Set this chicken mixture aside.
  3. Prepare caramelized onions: Peel and chop the yellow onion finely. Using the same skillet on medium heat, cook the onions for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are soft and caramelized to a golden brown.
  4. Mix onion topping: In a bowl, combine the caramelized onions with grated cheese and fresh parsley, mixing thoroughly to create the onion mixture.
  5. Prepare rolls: Cut the white rolls in half horizontally. Carefully remove the soft inside bread to create a hollow space inside each roll without breaking the outer crust.
  6. Fill rolls: Fill the hollowed rolls first with a layer of your chosen cheese, followed by the prepared chicken mixture. Place these filled rolls onto a baking dish.
  7. Add onion topping and bake: Spoon the onion and cheese mixture over the stuffed rolls. Preheat your oven to 200 °C (390 °F) and bake the rolls for 5-7 minutes until the cheese topping is melted and lightly bubbly. Serve warm, optionally topped with additional cheddar or cheese as desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast for a leaner option.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne and sambal to control the spiciness level.
  • The rolls should be sturdy enough to hold the filling; choose fresh but firm white rolls.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or smoked paprika to the chicken mixture.
  • Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
