ingredients
Steps
Prepare the filling
Cook the chicken breast in salted water, then let it cool and shred or dice it. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cream cheese, shredded cheese, sweet paprika powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Prepare the pastry
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for convection ovens). Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 12-16 equal triangles (depending on the size of your pastry sheet).
Assemble and bake
Place a teaspoon of chicken filling on the wider end of each pastry triangle. Roll up the pastry from the wider end to the tip, forming a croissant shape. Arrange the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with milk, then brush the tops of the croissants. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the pastry is crispy.
Extra Tips
► You can prepare the filling in advance to assemble the bites even faster.
► Experiment with spices! A pinch of chili flakes or fresh parsley also works wonderfully.
► The bites are best enjoyed fresh, but they are also excellent cold.
