Instructions

Step 1

Marinate the Chicken

Begin by marinating the chicken filet in salt and your choice of spices. I recommend using paprika and chili for a bit of heat.

Once marinated, cook the chicken over medium-low heat until it is fully cooked and then cut it into small cubes.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

In the same pan, add chopped mushrooms and diced onion. Sauté them until they are golden and fragrant.

Afterward, add the cooked chicken cubes, spinach, cream, and a little mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and allow it to cook covered for a few minutes until the cream thickens slightly.

Step 3

Assemble the Pastry

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Trim the edges to create strips around the sides of the pastry.

Place the filling mixture in the center and sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese. Fold the strips over the filling, crisscrossing them, and pressing the edges to seal.

Step 4

Bake the Pastry

Brush the top with egg yolk for a nice golden finish. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, brush the pastry with melted butter mixed with fresh dill and garlic for extra flavor.

Enjoy the pastry warm – it’s sure to be delicious!

Faq

  • I'm a beginner! What's the best way to handle puff pastry?

    Keep it cool and don’t overwork the dough when rolling it out. It’s easier to manage when it’s chilled!

  • How do I know when my pastry is done baking?

    Look for a beautiful golden-brown color and a crispy texture. If it feels firm to the touch, it’s likely done!

  • As an intermediate chef, can I make the pastry ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the filling and assemble the pastry a few hours in advance. Just chill it in the fridge until you're ready to bake.

  • What spices can I add to enhance the flavor even more?

    Consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for a lovely aroma. A pinch of nutmeg can also add depth!

  • What if I want to ensure my pastry is extra flaky?

    Make sure not to overwork your dough and keep everything cold until baking. Cold butter creates steam that helps with flakiness!

  • Can I make mini versions of this pastry?

    Definitely! Just cut the puff pastry into smaller squares and adjust baking time accordingly for those delightful bite-sized treats!
