Cheesy Chicken-Stuffed Puff Pastry Bake Recipe

A tasty and satisfying recipe that’s ideal for a savory lunch or a quick dinner is a Cheesy Chicken-Stuffed Puff Pastry Bake. Flaky puff pastry, gooey cheese, and tender chicken make for an irresistible combination. This is a basic recipe for making it!

Components:

1. Two cups of cooked chicken, either chopped or shredded
2. One cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
3. 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
4. 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
5. 1/4 cup of optional sour cream (for added creaminess)
6. Half a cup of cooked spinach, optionally drained and chopped
7. One teaspoon of powdered garlic
8. One teaspoon of powdered onion
9. To taste, add salt and pepper.
10. One sheet of store-bought puff pastry, thawed if frozen
11. One beaten egg for egg wash
12. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives (optional).

Directions:

1. Get the filling ready:

• Add the cooked chicken, mozzarella, cream cheese, Parmesan, sour cream (if using), cooked spinach (if using), onion and garlic powders, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl.
• Mix the ingredients until they are fully blended. It should be a cheesy, creamy combination.

2. Get the puff pastry ready:

• Set the oven temperature to 375°F, or 190°C.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If it’s too sticky, you can dust it with a little flour.
• Cut the puff pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on how large you want each slice.

3. Put the Bake Together:

• Put a dollop of the chicken and cheese mixture in the middle of each square of puff pastry.
• Depending on your preference, you can either make a sealed rectangle or a pocket or turnover by folding the crust over the filling.
• Make sure there are no spaces for the filling to escape by pressing the pastry’s edges together to seal it.

4. Add the Egg Wash:

Apply the beaten egg on the top of each pastry. This will aid in the puff pastry’s golden and glossy baking.

5. Cook:

• Arrange the filled puff pastries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffy and golden brown.

6. Offer:

• Allow the pastries to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives if preferred.

Advice:

• Variations: You can add veggies like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the filling for added flavor.
• Side dishes: Serve with a simple side salad or roasted veggies for a well-rounded supper.
