Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, then dice into small cubes.
Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, broccoli, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares to make 8 squares total.
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and broccoli filling into the center of each square. Fold the pastry over the filling by bringing opposite corners together to form a bundle, pinching to seal.
Transfer the bundles to the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the bundles with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Let the bundles cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Bundles!
