Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, you can substitute the cheddar with mozzarella or Swiss cheese. Adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the chicken mixture provides a tangy kick. If you prefer a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with extra broccoli or sautéed mushrooms. For an added crunch, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top of the rolls before baking.
