Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped spinach, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Cut it into squares or circles, depending on your preference and the size of the puffs you want.
  4. Place a spoonful of the chicken and spinach mixture onto the center of each pastry square or circle.
  5. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  6. Transfer the puffs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with more beaten egg for a nice golden color.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
