Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 4 slices Deli ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, resulting in 8 squares total.
In a mixing bowl, shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces. Add the cream cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place a slice of ham on each puff pastry square. Top the ham with about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and a slice of Swiss cheese.
Fold each puff pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges together firmly with your fingers, then crimp them with a fork to seal.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastry pockets with the egg wash to promote golden browning during baking.
Transfer the pockets to the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the pockets to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a satisfying main dish or appetizer.
