Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
• 0.5 cup Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 package Gluten-free puff pastry
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free flour

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Finely chop the cooked chicken breast and set aside.

Step 3

Dice half an onion and mince two cloves of garlic.

Step 4

In a medium pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the chopped chicken to the pan, along with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of paprika. Stir well to combine the ingredients. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface using the gluten-free flour, roll out the gluten-free puff pastry sheet. Cut the pastry into small squares, approximately 3x3 inches (7.5x7.5 cm).

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the center of each square.

Step 8

Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash.

Step 10

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to its opposite corner, enclosing the filling. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the puffs.

Step 11

Transfer the puffs to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish upon baking.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free chicken puffs warm!
