Ingredients
See recipe card BELOW for quantities.
- Chicken breast
- Salt
- Ground black pepper
- Paprika
- Italian seasoning
- Butter
- Oil
- Garlic cloves
- Parmesan cheese
- Heavy cream
- Fresh cilantro
- Puff pastry
- Mozzarella cheese
- Egg
- Milk
Instructions
- Cut chicken breast into small pieces and add to a bowl, along with spices and oil. Mix until everything is coated and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oil and butter in pan over high heat and add in the chicken. Let it develop colour on the bottom before stirring. Continue cooking until the most of the chicken has developed a golden brown colour. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat butter and add in the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes till fragrant and almost golden. Pour in the heavy cream and stir. Let it come to a boil and lower heat. Add in the seasonings and cook until thickened. Grate in the parmesan and cilantro.
- Chop up the chicken even smaller and add it back in to the pan. Give it a stir, taste for seasonings and adjust. Let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Prepare your puff pastry per package directions. Mine said to roll it out, some just need to be unfolded. Cut into 12 pieces, which will make 6 pastries and place half of them on a large baking tray lined with parchment.
- Beat together the egg and milk in a separate bowl for the egg wash.
- Add the grated mozzarella (how much you want) on the bottom and then the chicken alfredo mixture on top. Repeat with all.
- Brush sides with the egg wash and cover with the puff pastry pieces that were set aside. Crimp the edges with a fork. Cut 2 slits (or score any design) on top and brush with egg wash.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and bottom. Serve fresh and warm!
Hint: I like portioning it out to 6 portions to make it easier when assembling and to get equal amounts.
Storage
Let them cool down and store in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge. Warm up in the toaster oven or air-fryer before serving!
Tips to make these chicken puff pastries even better
- Defrosting the puff pastry: Make sure to take out the puff pastry and defrost in the fridge overnight or for 2 hours at room temperature.
- Adding cheese before chicken filling: I find that adding it to the bottom prevents it from oozing out of the slits on top as they bake.
FAQ
Can I freeze these pastries?
Yes! After assembling, place them on a tray to flash freeze for 30 minutes to an hour until partially frozen. Transfer to a re-sealable bag and freeze for up to 3 months. You want them to at least solidify on the outside so they don't stick together in the bag.
I can't have eggs, can I skip the egg wash?
Instead of the egg wash, you can brush the pastries with milk or cream. This give them the desired browning and shine.
