Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles (about 4 inches in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Use a smaller round cutter (or a sharp knife) to score a circle about 1 inch from the outer edge of each larger circle, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Brush the beaten egg over the puff pastry circles.
Baking and Filling
- Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions and sliced mushrooms until softened.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture to create a roux, then slowly add the heavy cream, stirring until thickened.
- Add the shredded chicken, salt, and pepper to the mixture, and mix well.
Assembly
- Carefully remove the tops from the puff pastry shells and fill them with the creamy chicken mixture.
- Place the tops back on and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serving
- Serve warm or at room temperature, paired with a fresh mixed green salad or a side of roasted vegetables.
Notes
For best results, ensure puff pastry is chilled before baking. Avoid overfilling the pastry shells.
