Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Ensure they are pliable but still cold.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet to ensure it is slightly larger and even in thickness.
Cut each sheet into 16 equal squares (approximately 2x2 inches each), for a total of 32 squares.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken and spinach filling in the center of 16 of the squares.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the filled squares lightly with the egg wash.
Top each filled square with another square of puff pastry, pressing the edges together gently to seal. Use a fork to crimp around the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are sealed properly.
Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each puff.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the egg wash to give them a golden finish when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and the pastry is puffed and flaky.
Remove from the oven and allow the puffs to cool slightly before serving warm.
