Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Brush for oil or egg wash

Ingredients
  

  • 1 chicken breast cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This gets it ready to make your rolls perfectly golden.
  • Flatten the bread slices with a rolling pin. This helps make the bread easier to roll without tearing.
  • Mix the shredded chicken and cheese together. You want a nice, even mix so every bite has flavor.
  • Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on one end of each bread slice. This is the yummy filling that your toddler will love.
  • Roll the bread slices tightly and seal the edges with a little beaten egg. This keeps everything inside while baking.
  • Brush the rolls with olive oil or melted butter and place them on a baking sheet. This step gives the rolls a lovely golden color and crispness.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let the rolls cool before serving to avoid any toddler burns.

Notes

  • Store cooled rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze baked rolls in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat rolls in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through.
  • For younger babies, cut rolls into smaller pieces or mash the filling for easier eating.
  • Swap cheese for dairy-free alternatives and use gluten-free bread if needed.
  • Add finely chopped veggies like spinach or carrot to the chicken mix to boost nutrition.
