Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry thawed (½ of a box)
  • 1½ - 2 cups chicken or turkey cooked and shredded
  • ½ cup whipped cream cheese herb or chive flavor
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 1 TB water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Beat egg and water in a small bowl using a whisk or fork.
  • Unfold the pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to make an approximate 14 inch square. Cut into 4 (7-inch) squares.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese in the center of each square. Top with about a tablespoon of parsley and then one-third to one-half cup of shredded meat.
  • Brush edges of each square with the egg mixture, then fold the corners of the square to the center to cover the chicken and press to seal.
  • Place filled pastries seam side down on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg mixture.
  • Bake for 25 minutes at 400F. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before serving
