Ingredients

1 cup fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs
500 g chicken breasts, minced
1 egg, lightly beaten egg
1 extra lightly beaten egg
salt, to taste
1 zucchini, finely grated
1 carrot, finely grated
1/2 onion, grated
1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
4 sheets frozen puff pastry
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
tomatoes or sweet chili sauce, to serve

Instructions

Process the crumbs, chicken and unbeaten egg in a food processor until well combined, place in a bowl, mix well with vegetables and herbs, then season to taste.
Place 1 pastry sheet on a floured surface and halve. Spoon an eighth of the mixture lengthways along the centre of each piece, fold 1 edge of the pastry over and tuck in beside the filling, then fold over the other side to make a roll, pressing down lightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling, cut the rolls into 3cm pieces and cut two small incisions into each roll to prevent splitting.
Place the rolls onto baking sheets and chill for 30 minutes, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the rolls are lightly browned and cooked through.
Serve with sauce on the side.
