Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 120 milliliters Chicken stock
• 60 milliliters Milk
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 1 large, beaten Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute.

Step 4

Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the chicken mixture and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the chicken stock and milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth filling. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 9

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.

Step 10

Cut each pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, totaling 8 squares.

Step 11

Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each square.

Step 12

Brush the edges of the squares with beaten egg and fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle. Seal the edges by pressing them with a fork.

Step 13

Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 14

Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining beaten egg.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.

Step 16

Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
