Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Everything bagel seasoning optional

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Pizza cutter or sharp knife
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • fork

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, green onions, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the filling is smooth and creamy.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, unfold one sheet of puff pastry.
  6. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
  7. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry. You should have a total of 18 squares.
  8. Place a spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of the chicken filling in the center of each square.
  9. Fold one corner of the puff pastry over to the opposite corner to form a triangle.
  10. Press the edges firmly to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges if desired. This helps prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  11. Place the assembled Chicken Pillows on the prepared baking sheet.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of the Chicken Pillows. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown color.
  13. Sprinkle the tops with everything bagel seasoning, if desired.
  14. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Chicken Pillows are golden brown and puffed up.
  15. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid a lumpy filling. Seal the edges of the puff pastry well to prevent filling from leaking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes. Try variations like Buffalo Chicken Pillows with buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese, or BBQ Chicken Pillows with BBQ sauce and bacon.
