Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 150 grams Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dice the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and stir well to coat. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, to create a creamy sauce.
Once the mixture thickens, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Boursin cheese until fully melted and incorporated. Add the chopped parsley and allow the filling to cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares for a total of 8 squares.
Spoon a generous portion of the cooled chicken mixture onto the center of each square. Fold the pastry over diagonally to form a triangle and seal the edges by pressing down with the tines of a fork.
Transfer the pasties to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the pasties to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or cold, making them ideal for picnics.
