Ingredients

• 1 package dairy-free puff pastry sheets
• 2 cups cooked chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
• 1 tablespoon egg substitute
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Shred or chop the cooked chicken breast into small pieces and add it to the skillet.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Step 7

Mix in the dijon mustard and remove the skillet from the heat. Let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Unfold the dairy-free puff pastry sheets and cut them into equal squares (each approximately 4x4 inches).

Step 9

Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each pastry square.

Step 10

Mix the non-dairy milk and egg substitute with water in a small bowl to create an egg wash alternative.

Step 11

Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the non-dairy egg wash.

Step 12

Fold each pastry square over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 13

Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash.

Step 14

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffy.

Step 15

Let the chicken puffs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
