Ingredients

3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp dried parsley
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg
1 tsp water

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast, 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp dried parsley. Mix until well combined to create the chicken filling.
3

On a lightly floured surface, unroll 2 sheets thawed puff pastry. Cut each sheet into 9 squares (3x3 grid).
4

Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken filling onto one half of each pastry square. Fold the other half of the pastry square over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
5

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tsp water to make the egg wash.
6

Arrange the prepared chicken puffs on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. The internal temperature of the filling should reach 165°F (74°C).
8

Serve warm.

Questions

Can I make Chicken Puffs dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 8 oz cream cheese, softened. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Chicken Puffs gluten-free?

Not cleanly. 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed has no substitute that behaves the same way in this dish. If you need strictly gluten-free, start from the gluten-free appetizer collection instead.

How long does Chicken Puffs keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat covered in a 300 F oven until warmed through.

Can I halve or double Chicken Puffs?

Yes. As written it serves 12. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
