Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- 8 ounces dairy-free cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sheets dairy-free puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons flour for dusting
- 1 piece egg, whisked (optional for glazing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks or chop into small pieces.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the onion until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the chopped spinach to the onion mixture and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, onion and spinach mixture, and the dairy-free cream cheese. Mix until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smoothen. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a generous tablespoon of the chicken filling onto the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to meet the opposite corner. Press the edges with a fork to seal completely.
Transfer the puffs to the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, brush each puff with whisked egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free chicken puffs warm!
