Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

1 cup cooked chicken, diced

1/2 cup Alfredo sauce

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated and set aside.

      Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and roll it out gently if necessary to smooth any creases. Cut it into squares of approximately 3x3 inches using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter for clean edges.

        Fill the Puffs: Place a teaspoon of the chicken Alfredo filling in the center of each puff pastry square. Be careful not to overstuff each square to avoid leaking during baking.

          Seal the Pastry: Fold each pastry square into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together. Firmly press down the edges with a fork to create a secure seal, ensuring no filling escapes while baking.

            Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the top of each pastry puff with the egg wash to achieve a beautiful golden-brown finish.

              Bake: Place the sealed pastry puffs on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each puff for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and puffed.

                Serve: After baking, remove the pastry puffs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

                  Enjoy!: Serve these mini chicken Alfredo pastry puffs warm as a delightful appetizer or snack, and relish the creamy, cheesy filling that makes each bite irresistible!
