Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups, shredded Cooked chicken breast
- 8 ounces, softened Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons, melted Butter
- 3 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 sheets, thawed Puff pastry sheets
- 1 large, for egg wash Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, melted butter, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended and creamy.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, resulting in 8 squares total.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of each pastry square.
Fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the pastry pillows for a golden finish.
Transfer the pillows to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the Pillows of Chicken warm!
