Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1/2 cup mixed nuts, chopped
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package (17.3 ounces) puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped nuts, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a round cutter or glass, cut out circles from the puff pastry.
4. Spoon a small amount of the chicken and nut mixture onto the center of each puff pastry circle.
5. Fold the edges of the puff pastry circle over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the puffs.
6. Place the filled puffs onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
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. These chicken nut puffs can be served warm or at room temperature.
9. Serve the puffs as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
