Butterdejsstang med kylling, bacon og pikantost - Snasket og lækker

Puff pastry plait with chicken, bacon and herb cream cheese (pikantost)

A gloriously gooey puff pastry plait with shredded chicken, bacon, herb cream cheese (pikantost) and mozzarella. Rich, indulgent and oozy – perfect with a fresh, crisp salad on the side.
Serve the plaited chicken pastry as a light lunch or for dinner with a fresh green salad. It is also just right as the warm course on a Danish-style lunch buffet, as a starter or as part of a tapas spread.
Shredded chicken works especially well here, as both the cream cheese and the mozzarella melt down through it, making the filling extra juicy and gooey. You can use leftover chicken and shred it – or poach a couple of chicken breasts and shred them.
The plait tastes best while still warm – the filling is soft and oozy, and the pastry beautifully crisp.

Method

  • Fry the bacon in a pan over a medium heat until crisp and golden.
    Add a little oil if needed.
  • Add the onion and red pepper and fry for a couple of minutes, then add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and stir well to combine.
  • Turn off the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  • Unroll the puff pastry on a sheet of baking paper.
    The filling goes down the centre of the pastry, so cut diagonal strips into the pastry from the edge, 1/3 of the way in towards the middle. Do this on both sides.
    See the photo just below the recipe.
  • Stir a little over half of the cream cheese into the slightly cooled filling in the pan, and spread the rest of the cheese down the centre of the pastry.
  • Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella, spread the filling on top, and finish with the remaining mozzarella.
  • Fold the ends of the pastry in over the filling, then fold the strips in over the filling, alternating from each side, – one at a time.
    See the video above the recipe if you like.
  • Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake the plait in a preheated oven at 200°C (conventional oven, top and bottom heat) for about 20 minutes.
  • Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

    Hej Diana.
    Jeg har købt butterdej i plader.
    Svarer hele pakken ( 450 g ) til en rulle butterdej?

    • Hej Helle

      Den er større end en “almindelig” rulle butterdej – de vejer oftest ca. 275 gram:)

      Så skal du øge mængden af fyld:)

      Warm wishes, Dianna

  2. Marianne

    Hvor mange portioner er din opskrift til ?

  3. Hanne Larsen

    Kan stængerne laves dagen i forvejen og næste formiddag pensles og drysses og ovnen ?

    • Hej Hanne

      Hvis de dækkes ordentligt til, så kan jeg ikke se der skulle være noget i vejen for at forberede dem dage i forvejen 🙂

      Warm wishes, Dianna

    Kan jeg lave butterdejsstængerne dagen før og sætte dem i køleskabet til de skal i ovnen næste formiddag. Evt vente med at pensle med æg og drysse med sesam ?

  5. Dorte steffensen

    Kan man bruge neutral ost og så evt. putte noget paprika og andre krydderier i da jeg skal lave den til et venindebesøg som desværre ikke spiser hvidløg.

    • Hejsa

      Ja det kan du sagtens gøre, du kan bare krydre med f.eks. lidt persille, paprika og lignende 🙂

      Warm wishes, Dianna

  6. Birgit Bang

    Kan den fryses?mvh Birgit

  7. Louise

    Koger, steger du eller putter du kyllingen i ovnen ? For at nemmest kunne trevle? 🙂

    F*ndme en flot stang, mine går altid i vasken, åbner eller noget i den dur.

    • Hej Louise

      Hurtigst er det at koge kyllingebrysterne i 10-12 minutter alt efter størrelse -ø og så trevle dem når de er let afkølet.
      Men du kan bruge hvad som helst, du kan også bare hakke det fint med en kniv 🙂

      Og tusind tak, hvor er du sød altså:)

      Warm wishes, Dianna

  8. Kan butterdejs stangen laves dagen før og genopvarmes eller går det ud over kvaliteten ?

    • Hej Steffen

      Det kan den godt. Du kan evt.ææ bage den 5 minutter mindre, så den ikke bliver for tør når den skal varmes op 🙂

      Dbh Dianna

  9. Hvordan laver du den trevlede kylling?

    • Hej Mette

      Jeg trevler blot et stykke tilberedt kylling med 2 gafler – det kan også gøres med fingrene.

      Warm wishes, Dianna

  10. Har ikke prøvet opskriften endnu. Men hvilken kartofler vil du servere til?
    Skal lave den slut november så jeg vil servere en spidskålssalat med æbler, saltede mandler, tørrede tranebær og mormordressing
