Let’s Make it Together

Preparation of Ingredients: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, dice the chicken into small pieces and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for maximum flavor.

Sautéing Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, toss in the seasoned chicken pieces and sauté until they turn golden brown and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

Add Garlic: Toss minced garlic into the skillet when the chicken is almost done cooking. Let it sizzle for about a minute until fragrant; this will give your filling an aromatic kick.

Create Filling: Lower the heat and add cream cheese and Alfredo sauce to the pan. Stir until everything melds together in creamy harmony, 5 minutes will do. Remove from heat once combined.

Assemble Puffs: Roll out puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface; cut them into squares about 4 inches wide. Spoon some filling onto each square before folding them over into triangles. Seal edges with a fork to avoid spills.

Baking Time: Arrange puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Brush tops with egg wash (beaten egg) for that beautiful golden sheen during baking, around 20-25 minutes should do it!

Now sit back while those heavenly aromas fill your kitchen; your taste buds will thank you later when you indulge in these delightful bites! For more inspiration, check out this Cheesy Parmesan Mozzarella Bites recipe.
