Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 4 slices Deli ham
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, resulting in 8 squares total.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces. Add the cream cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Place a slice of ham on each puff pastry square. Top the ham with about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and a slice of Swiss cheese.

Step 5

Fold each puff pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges together firmly with your fingers, then crimp them with a fork to seal.

Step 6

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pastry pockets with the egg wash to promote golden browning during baking.

Step 7

Transfer the pockets to the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 8

Allow the pockets to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a satisfying main dish or appetizer.
