Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

      Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet. Cut it into 4 equal squares.

        Fill Pastries: Take a generous spoonful of the chicken and sun-dried tomato mixture and place it in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill, as this will make sealing difficult.

          Seal Pastries: Fold the corners of each pastry square towards the center to create a pocket. Press the edges to seal tightly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal and decorative touch.

            Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color while baking. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if desired.

              Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature!
