Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 8 spears Asparagus spears (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 package Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 unit Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Roll each sheet out slightly to ensure an even thickness.
Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal squares.
Place a small scoop (about 1 tablespoon) of the chicken mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Top the chicken filling with 1-2 pieces of asparagus.
Fold each corner of the puff pastry square towards the center, pinching the edges gently to seal and create a small pouch.
Brush the tops of the pastry puffs with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, glossy finish when baked.
Transfer the assembled pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each puff.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy the flaky, creamy, and savory flavors!
