As I promised yesterday that I would post the homemade chicken bread after giving the recipe for the chicken filling, so here I am. The very delicious and very simple chicken bread roll recipe. I simply love the way it looks, braided and stuffed chicken bread. Even though I have been making the chicken bread roll for some time, but there is always a sense of satisfaction to see the golden brown braided and stuffed chicken bread come out perfectly.
The Chicken Bread Roll is such an amazing recipe that every time I make it, it never goes wrong. I got this recipe from Fauzia’s Kitchen first. Ever since I have been following the same with wonderful results. I use this recipe for the bread and use a variety of fillings including chicken, keema or just plain veggies. Hopefully I’ll share with you all the recipes in coming future, in sha ALLAH.
You can just make this homemade chicken bread roll from any leftover chicken too, like the tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, chicken malai tikka, grilled chicken or even chicken 65 recipe. This is an amazing way to use up your leftover dishes including any mutton or veggie recipes. Though I am paranoid of making bread in the kitchen, this is one recipe that I love to make again and again without any difficulty. I simply love the sheer ease of it. Nothing like seeing the dough rise and watching it become soft, fluffy and brown. I fondly keep looking through the oven mirror like a small kid every time I bake anything. Baking and getting it right is something which I really cherish and enjoy to the core.
I have shared the recipe for the shredded chicken masala for the filling here. But like I mentioned before, you can always use the filling your choice for this chicken bread roll. I have seen other recipes which call for using readymade bread and stuffing it with the filling but I love it when we make the recipe right from scratch. And the best part is, it doesn’t require extra kneading too unlike the pizza base where I have to knead and knead and knead some more to get the perfect pizza base.
I, truly, hope that you try this chicken bread roll recipe and enjoy it. All you have to do is allow the yeast to activate and add this to the rest of the ingredients. We then knead it into a soft dough and allow it to rest for an hour covered with a damp cloth. The dough will rise and is ready to make the bread.
After the dough is ready, roll it into a rectangular shape and place the chicken filling in the middle. Make the cuts in slanting lines on both sides.
After making the cuts, fold the layers alternatively on top of each other till the end. Either leave the last two layers or fold it up like I have done. And bake it for 20-25 minutes before relishing this amazing recipe.
Serve it with any curry of your choice for the perfect meal.
Let’s just get started with the Home-made Chicken Bread Roll Recipe.

Fa's Kitchen says
Thank you so much Harriet. that is really very kind of you
Abida says
Wa alaikum assalam wa rahamtullahi wa barakatu Fareeha! What a delicious looking recipe, I also get a bit paranoi with bread but you make this look so simple. Love the styling too.
Fa's Kitchen says
Ask me about it!!! Bread gets me paranoid too, though this chicken bread recipe is a fool-proof one. That’s why I keep making this again and again and again. Hope you try it too
Rahmath says
Amazing recipe
Lynn | The Road to Honey says
I’ve been seeing braided rolls quite a bit lately and I must confess that I completely adore them. I often see them with sweet fillings so I love that you filled yours with chicken. This would be such an elegant dish to serve at dinner parties.
Fa's Kitchen says
It sure is Lynn and it is pretty simple to make too. I hope you try this and like it
Hiba abbas says
Fareehaaaa, you are making me crazy, dear. This is soo amazing pic. Of the braided bread!!! I read the whole post , and more over the recipe ( lovely).I was drooling over the picture taken! Masha allah:-)
ummesenine senien says
Amazing…..keep the work
Fa's Kitchen says
Thank you so much ummesenine. The appreciation from you is what makes the blogging all worthwhile. Thanks a ton again. I hope you enjoy the Chicken Bread
deb says
When do you add the egg??
Fa's Kitchen says
Along with all the other ingredients while kneading the dough. Sorry for the confusion
Raji says
Hi
May I ask, if microwave can be used to bake the bread instead of normal oven? And if yes, what is the time taken and the temperature?
Thank you
Fa's Kitchen says
Hi Raji, I don’t think so you can make it in the microwave. For the bread to rise properly, it would need a convection oven.
Sameerunissa says
Can we make this with whole wheat flour?
Fa's Kitchen says
I am afraid, that will require a different recipe altogether. The Chicken Bread will taste best with the all purpose flour. But if you have any whole wheat bread recipe, you can substitute that and just fill it with the chicken filling.
Uzma Ali says
Assalaam-u-alaikum sister. You’ve said to divide the dough into 3 parts, and then there’s no mention of what to do with the parts. Is this dough recipe for 3 beads?
Fa's Kitchen says
Walaikum asssalam wa rah. Yes, dear. You can make 3 medium sized breads with it. Sorry for the confusion, sis. Hope you enjoy the chicken bread
Uzma Ali says
No worries, will let you know how it turns out. I am not a bread-maker but this looks so good and easy. xxx
Uzma Ali says
So I made it. ?
The bread part was great (I wasn’t sure what size to make it! That wasn’t clear from the pictures)
But the filling was a bit dry. Even though I had put some Mozzarella in it as well. But it had all melted away, and just turned into fat.
Any tips on how to keep the Mozzarella in its form? Do you think I over cooked it?
Fa's Kitchen says
Alhamdulillah for the bread. I doubt you might have overcooked it a lil. Every oven n its settings are different. It comes out perfectly in my oven. Try cooking a lil bit less time. I would suggest not to change the temperature and just reduce the cooking time a lil. You can add in any filling of your choice with lil bit more masala too. In sha Allah it will be delicious next time.
Azmeen Ansar says
Aa – Could I know if we can make the dough beforehand and store it in fridge? With Ramzaan coming up, want to know how i can prepare this earlier and use for a couple of days.
Fa's Kitchen says
Yes, sure. You can always freeze it. Just remember to wrap it really well to prevent any moisture getting in. When you need it, just keep it out or overnight in the fridge until thawed. After thawing, I prefer to keep in the warm oven for 5 minutes (not while it is on but just warm enough) and it will be as good as fresh, in sha ALLAH
Susmitha says
Please let me know how much temperature I need to set for baking the bread for 20-25 minutes. Is 180 C is enough or 200 C . I have convection/traditional oven in my home.
Fa's Kitchen says
Hi Sushmita,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
Every oven is different, and the temperature and settings would vary from oven to oven. I have a gas oven at my home.
It is best that you would use the same setting that you use to make a bread.
Mariam says
السلام عليكم
I made the bread and it turned out very hard. Any particular mistake you think I might be making? Which oven rack should I keep the bread in? Thank you.
Fa's Kitchen says
Walaikum assalam wa rah wa bar.
I think you must have cooked at high temp. Every oven is different. Try cooking it at a lower temperature.
I have a cooking range, and in which I place it in the middle rack.
