Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cooked and shredded

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped (packed in oil, drained)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup fresh basil, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried basil)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (17.3 oz) puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed

1 egg (for egg wash)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated and creamy.

      Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the puff pastry sheets. Use a rolling pin to gently roll out each sheet to smooth it out. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (you should have 8 squares).

        Fill the Pastry: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken and sun-dried tomato mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leakage.

          Seal the Pastries: Fold each pastry square over to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. For an extra seal, use a fork to crimp the edges.

            Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash to give them a beautiful, golden finish when baked. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture.

              Bake: Place the puff pastries on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm, and enjoy these delectable creamy sun-dried tomato chicken puff pastries!
