Ingredients:
For the Filling:

  • 2 cups (300 g) of cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) diced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pastry:

  • 1 package (400 g) puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup (240 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:

  • In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into equal squares, approximately 4-5 inches each.
  • Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture into the center of each square. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a pocket and seal the edges using a fork.

3. Arrange and Bake:

  • Place the stuffed pastry pockets seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

4. Add the Cheese Topping:

  • Remove the pastries from the oven and sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  • Add a touch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 5-7 more minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns bubbly.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Let the pastries cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Pair with a fresh salad or enjoy as a comforting main course.
