Ingredients

• 2 pieces Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 150 grams Fresh spinach leaves
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 20 grams Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Dice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a separate skillet, wilt the spinach over medium heat, stirring until it has reduced in volume (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, wilted spinach, cream cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to form a cohesive filling.

Step 7

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into rectangles (about 4 pieces per sheet).

Step 8

Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and spinach mixture onto the center of each rectangle.

Step 9

Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a parcel, pinching the edges firmly to seal. Repeat for all parcels.

Step 10

Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over the top of each parcel for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the parcels on the baking tray, leaving some space between each.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow the parcels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Spinach Parcels warm!
