Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cold water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 pieces Celery stalks
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 piece Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 0.5 cups of cold water and 3 tablespoons of olive oil while mixing until the dough begins to form.

Step 2

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add 2 pieces of chicken breast and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 15–20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool.

Step 4

In the same pot, retain the broth and add 1 medium chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 diced carrot, and 2 chopped celery stalks. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Shred the cooled chicken using two forks and add to the pot. Season with 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Simmer everything together for another 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf after simmering.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Retrieve the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to about 0.25-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 4-inch squares.

Step 8

Place a generous spoonful of filling onto each square, fold over the dough to create a triangle, and press the edges together to seal.

Step 9

Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the pastries lightly with olive oil.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free chicken pastries warm!
