Cooking Directions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.  Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
  • Stir the chicken, cheese, corn, bread crumbs and picante sauce in a medium bowl.
  • Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 16x12-inch rectangle. With the short side facing you, spoon the chicken mixture onto the bottom half of the pastry to within 1-inch of the edges.  Starting at the short side, roll up like a jelly roll.  Place the pastry seam-side down onto a baking sheet.  Tuck the ends under to seal.  Brush the pastry with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the parsley.  Cut 2-inch slits 2 inches apart in the pastry top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.  Slice and serve warm on the salad greens with the sour cream, if desired.
