1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tbsp water

For the Filling:

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup mushrooms, diced

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp dried thyme

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Sauté onions until translucent, then add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Add the mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and thyme.

Make the Creamy Sauce:

Push the chicken mixture to one side of the pan and melt butter in the empty space.

Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden.

Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.

Mix everything together and add Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assemble the Puffs:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out puff pastry and cut into 6 equal squares.

Spoon a tablespoon of filling onto each square.

Fold the pastry over the filling into a triangle or rectangle and press edges with a fork to seal.

Bake:

Whisk egg with 1 tbsp water and brush over the pastry.

Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy:

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

You can substitute rotisserie chicken for convenience.

Try adding a splash of white wine for extra depth of flavor in the filling.

Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
