Notes:

You can even mince the boneless chicken pieces using a blender to make as a Keema and use for the stuffing. This filling can also be made a day in advance. You can try different fillings of your choice. Grated paneer, mixed vegetables, green peas masala or cheese. You can also use spices like red chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin powder to the chicken stuffing according to your spice level. To make it kid-friendly, completely leave the spices. This chicken bun is excellent for lunch boxes, and can be made smaller than the regular size for kids.
