Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 ounces Low-sodium cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 1 unit Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the low-sodium chicken broth until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Step 4

Stir in the low-sodium cream cheese, shredded cooked chicken, fresh parsley, fresh dill, and black pepper. Mix until the cream cheese is melted and the filling is well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to smooth them out. Cut each sheet into 9 equal squares.

Step 6

Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle, and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Step 7

Place the filled puffs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg to give them a golden sheen when baked.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the puffs to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
