Tofu is a plant-based protein option.

Marinate 500 grams of boneless chicken with vinegar, paprika powder, red chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and cumin powder for 15-20 minutes.

Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and add the marinated chicken.

Cook the chicken on high flame until it changes color from pink to white, then lower the heat and cover to cook until tender, adding water if necessary.

Prepare a white sauce by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan, adding 1.5 tablespoons of flour, and cooking briefly.

Gradually add 1 cup of milk while stirring to avoid lumps, then add crushed red chili, salt, white pepper, and 2 tablespoons of cream.

Mix in 0.75 cup of mozzarella cheese until melted, then add the cooked chicken and chopped bell pepper.

For the dough, mix 2.5 cups of flour with 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of yeast, and 1 cup of warm milk, kneading until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a greased bowl for about 2 hours until doubled in volume, then punch down and divide into equal parts.

Shape the dough into balls and preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Flatten each ball and create a hollow in the center for the filling.

Brush with beaten egg and add the chicken filling generously, topping with more mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden and the buns have risen.
