Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup (finely chopped) Toasted walnuts or pecans
- 4 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Green onions
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 package (thawed) Puff pastry sheets
- 1 large (beaten for egg wash) Egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, toasted nuts, cream cheese, green onions, parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to ensure they are even. Cut the sheets into squares approximately 3x3 inches in size.
Step 4
Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken and nut filling in the center of each square.
Step 5
Fold the corners of the puff pastry square to the center and pinch them together to seal. Pinch the edges as well to ensure the filling is enclosed.
Step 6
Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Step 7
Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to give them a golden glaze during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the puffs to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
