Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup (finely chopped) Toasted walnuts or pecans
- 4 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Green onions
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 package (thawed) Puff pastry sheets
- 1 large (beaten for egg wash) Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, toasted nuts, cream cheese, green onions, parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined and smooth.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to ensure they are even. Cut the sheets into squares approximately 3x3 inches in size.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken and nut filling in the center of each square.
Fold the corners of the puff pastry square to the center and pinch them together to seal. Pinch the edges as well to ensure the filling is enclosed.
Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to give them a golden glaze during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the puffs to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm and enjoy!
