Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one thawed puff pastry sheet until it is slightly thinner. Cut the sheet into 8 equal squares.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each square.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash.
Fold each square into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for added security and decoration.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash for a golden and shiny finish.
Repeat the process with the second puff pastry sheet and the remaining chicken mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before serving. These can also be cooled completely and frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 375Β°F (190Β°C) oven until heated through.
