Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese until well mixed.
Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano to the chicken mixture and stir to combine.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to remove any creases.
Cut the puff pastry into 4-inch squares.
Place about a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the chicken mixture to form a triangle and seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to ensure a golden brown finish.
Repeat the process with the second sheet of puff pastry.
Place the chicken puffs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
