The golden, flaky puff pastry in this Marry Me Chicken Puff Pastry Recipe is stuffed with a mixture of mozzarella cheese, chicken, veggies, and Italian seasonings.

When baked, the puff pastry’s multiple thin layers of dough and butter produce a crunchy, golden crust. This texture is a terrific contrast to the hot taste and creamy filling. When puff pastries bake, they rise wonderfully, giving them a refined, bakery-worthy appearance.

They’re great for parties, significant occasions, or even as a snack to wow visitors. Small, individual portions of chicken puff pastries make them ideal for picnics, lunchboxes, or as a quick snack.

How to make Chicken Puff Pastry

Making chicken puff pastry at home is so easy. I love to prepare them on weekends and enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee. I am sure you would love these, too.

You can customize the recipe by selecting your favorite ingredients and flavors. Although I have used the ingredients that are already gluten-free, you can also produce a gluten- and dairy-free version by making a few easy changes.

You can keep these chicken puff pastries fresh in a refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. To reheat the pastries, you can microwave them for 30 seconds.

Step by step instructions to make Chicken Puff Pastry Recipe

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 420 degrees.

Step 2

Grease a baking tray with oil and fix parchment paper in it.

Step 3

Chop the chicken finely (use a food processor). Afterward, transfer it into a bowl.

Step 4

Saute the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, minced onion, and tomato paste in melted butter for about two minutes or until the mixture gets fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chicken stock and boil it until the spinach starts to shrink. Stir in the chicken until it is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Cook on low for 3 to 4 minutes so the flavors may sink into the chicken.

Step 7

You can cut the puff pastry sheets into any shape you like. Triangles are what I created.

Step 8

Evenly distribute 1 spoonful of the chicken mixture over the pastry.

Step 9

Add a tiny bit of mozzarella after that.

Step 10

Fold the pastry dough over the filling and press it down using a fork on the sides.

Step 11

After coating the pastries with the egg wash, lay them approximately 1 inch apart on the baking sheet that was already prepared. In around ten minutes, bake until golden.

For more taste, add chopped celery, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, or any other veggies you want.

Cheese

This dish can be made with any kind of melty, gooey cheese

Recipe Tips

Here are some tips for perfectly baked chicken puff pastries:

Cut the chicken into extremely fine pieces. The filling resembles chicken salad in certain ways.
If you stuff your puff pastries too full, the filling will seep out while they bake.
To ensure that every area of the pastry can brown as it puffs up, leave about an inch between each pastry.
Watch out for your pastries. Oven and pastry brands can have different cooking times.
Don’t stuff your pastries too full. Overfilling will result in oozing.
Before serving, let the pastries cool slightly. They go nicely with a marinara or ranch dipping sauce or a crisp salad.
