Description

Flaky pastry pockets filled with rich, creamy chicken and baked until perfectly golden.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent dough or puff pastry
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan or mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • Fresh chives or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  3. Separate the dough into squares and spoon the filling into the center of each square.
  4. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal into pillows.
  5. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and flaky, about 18–22 minutes.
  7. Allow to rest briefly, garnish with chives, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add some diced jalapeños to the filling.
  • These can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking.
  • Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
