Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1.5 cups Cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1 cup Mushrooms (finely chopped)
- 1 small Onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to incorporate.
Gradually add the milk and chicken stock, whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the shredded chicken, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mushroom mixture in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a pocket and pinch the seams to seal.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to ensure a golden color when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pastries from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
