Buffalo Chicken Stromboli

Every now and then I get in the mood for buffalo style chicken. The other night I was trying to think of what I could do with the remainder of my rotisserie chicken. I knew at this point it would taste best if it was shredded. That's when I remembered I had one sheet of puff pastry in the freezer. I instantly thought about making a Stromboli of sorts out of puff pastry, and then the light bulb turned on. Why not a buffalo chicken Stromboli? I knew my husband would approve of it and I could essentially take the same concept as my Buffalo Chicken Dip except make it in the form of a Stromboli. Oh, and make it heavier on the chicken and less on the dip.

Typically, I'd use a mixture of cream cheese and bleu cheese for the dip, but on this particular evening I didn't have either on hand. What I did have is my favorite soft spreading cheese around, Alouette® Soft Spreadable Cheese in Garlic and Herb. 

In a large bowl I mixed all the ingredients together and placed it in the middle of the puff pastry. Wrapped it tightly, brushed it with butter and let the oven do its magic! This came out flaky and full of buffalo chicken goodness. I served carrot and celery sticks and ranch with our stromboli. You could easily make this as an appetizer or serve it as a main meal like I did!
