Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Plain yogurt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dice the chicken breasts into small cubes, approximately 1/2-inch in size.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the plain yogurt and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken mixture cool. Once cooled, stir in the chopped cilantro.
Roll out the defrosted puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four squares, making a total of eight squares.
Place a spoonful of the cooled chicken filling in the center of each pastry square.
Fold the corners of the pastry up to meet in the center, pinching gently to seal the parcel. Ensure all edges are sealed to prevent leaks while baking.
Beat the egg in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of each parcel with the egg wash to promote browning.
Transfer the parcels to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow the parcels to cool slightly. Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
