Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (optional for creamier filling)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, like parsley or thyme)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the filling by mixing the shredded chicken, cheese, cream cheese (if using), salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares or rectangles (about 4×4 inches each).
- Spoon the chicken mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Be sure not to overfill.
- Fold the pastry over the filling, creating a sealed pocket. Press the edges to seal securely.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden, crispy finish. Optionally, sprinkle some herbs for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
Notes
- Feel free to add your favorite seasonings or vegetables to the filling.
- You can substitute the cream cheese with ricotta or cottage cheese for a different texture.
