Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (preferably rotisserie)

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Flour (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Sauté the Vegetables:

      - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

        - Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

          - Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft and any released moisture has evaporated.

            Prepare the Filling:

              - Stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.

                - Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

                  - Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

                    Prepare the Puff Pastry:

                      - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick.

                        - Cut out circles or squares (about 4-5 inches wide) depending on your desired shape.

                          Assemble the Pastries:

                            - Place a tablespoon of the chicken and mushroom filling in the center of each pastry cut-out.

                              - Fold over the pastry to create a pocket and seal the edges by pressing with a fork or pinching them together.

                                - Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

                                  Add the Egg Wash:

                                    - In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pastry to give it a golden color when baked.

                                      Bake:

                                        - Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

                                              - Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving for an added touch of color.
