Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 small (finely chopped) Onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 sheets (thawed) Puff pastry sheets
- 1 large (beaten for egg wash) Egg
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for topping) Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix well. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Transfer the cooked chicken mixture to a bowl. Stir in the cream cheese and chopped parsley until well combined. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets slightly to smooth the edges. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken filling into the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.
Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush each triangle with the beaten egg, and if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken triangles cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
