Ingredients:

  • Puff Pastry: 500g (17.6 oz)
  • Chicken Breast: 350g (12.3 oz), cut into pieces
  • Mushrooms: 250g (8.8 oz), cut into pieces
  • Brown Onion: 1 medium, diced
  • Cream Cheese: 150g (⅔ cup)

  • Herbes de Provence: 1 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
  • Egg Yolk: 1
  • Milk: 1 tablespoon

Directions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

  • In a medium-high heat pan, add a drizzle of light olive oil.
  • Sauté the diced onion for 2 minutes until translucent.
  • Add the chicken pieces, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2 ½ minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Incorporate the mushrooms and cook for an additional 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the herbes de Provence and chopped parsley, stirring for 1 minute.
  • Finally, add the cream cheese and mix for 1 ½ minutes until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste and stir for another 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool.

2. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 200 °C (400°F) or 180 °C for fan ovens (Gas Mark 6).

3. Prepare the Pastry:

  • On a floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry. Cut it into squares of approximately 12 x 12 cm (4.7 x 4.7 inches).
  • Gently stretch the pastry squares using your fingers to make them slightly larger.

4. Assemble the Pies:

  • Place about 1 ½ tablespoons of the filling in the center of each pastry square.
  • Fold the pastry over to create a triangle and pinch the edges to seal tightly (refer to the video for visual guidance).
  • Arrange the stuffed pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
