Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 Green bell pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper.
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes.
In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped green bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
Add the chicken cubes to the pan, along with salt, black pepper, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala.
Cook the chicken until it's fully cooked and no longer pink inside, about 8-10 minutes.
Once cooked, take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Mix in the cream cheese until well combined and creamy.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each into 6 equal squares.
Place a tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each square.
Fold each square into a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the puffs with the egg wash to give them a golden color.
Place the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving hot.
