Santa Fe Chicken Egg Rolls

Monday, August 17, 2009

Here is another recipe I recreated from a restaurant. The combination of black beans and corn are very pleasing to the palate. This recipe makes six egg rolls - you can easily double or triple.

I love trying to re-create a meal that I've had at a restaurant. These chicken egg rolls are heaven. They are very easy to make and are very yummy. You can either boil a chicken breast with some spices or take the easy way and buy a rotisserie chicken.

This is a real simple recipe which can be a big crowd pleaser. We serve this recipe for any gathering, whether it be for a holiday or to watch a football game with some close friends.

Sausage Bread

1 pizza dough
1 lb. sweet sausage, cooked, crumbled and drained
1 egg
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 c. Parmesan/Romano cheese
1 c mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook and drain sausage. Spread out dough to a rectangle on a floured surface. Mix egg and garlic powder in a small bowl and spread over dough. Add sausage, mozzarella and parm/romano cheese. Roll the dough jelly-roll style and seal - make sure you pinch the ends.

Place dough on a cookie sheet (I usually line with foil and spray with non-stick spray) seam side down. Cook for about 30 minutes or until dough is golden brown.

Enjoy!
