Ingredients:

  • 1 package (17.5 oz / 500 g) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 lb (450 g) cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) frozen peas (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) shredded cheese (optional, e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic; cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in shredded chicken, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. (Optional) Mix in peas and cheese; combine well. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. On a floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to 1/8 inch (3mm) thickness. Cut into 4-inch (10cm) squares.
  4. Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle; press to seal the edges. Optionally, crimp edges with a fork. Brush the top of each pastry with beaten egg.
  5. Arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
