Provided by chelseywhitfield

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 32 squares, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (2 sheet) box puff pastry (found in freezer section usually near desserts and frozen doughs)
1 (8 ounce) container philadelphia chive & onion cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
1/3 cup cooked crumbled bacon
3 tablespoons finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Lay Pastry Puffs out to defrost while you are cooking chicken and bacon.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Warm cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften it so it's easier to stir. Place the cream cheese into a mixing bowl with mozzarella cheese, chicken, bacon, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir well to combine thoroughly and set aside.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll one sheet at a time into a 12 x 12 inch square. Cut 4, 3 inch strips each direction to make 16 squares, 3 x 3″ each. Cut other pastry puff the same way making a total of 32 squares.
  • Place about 2 teaspoons of cream cheese mixture onto each square.
  • With your finger, brush a dab of water around the edges of each square and fold over diagonally to make a triangle.
  • Press edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
  • After stuffing and folding each pastry, place on a baking sheet. Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon water together and brush over the top of each pastry.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  • Cool 10 minutes before serving. Can also be served at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and at room temperature. This helps ensure even cooking and a well-blended filling.
  • Use Quality Bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon for a satisfying bite and flavor. Additionally, cooking the bacon until crispy adds extra texture and richness to the pockets.
  • Season the Chicken: Don't forget to season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This simple step enhances the chicken's flavor and makes it more flavorful.
  • Shred the Chicken: For easy filling and even distribution, shred the chicken into small pieces using two forks or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: Feel free to mix and match different types of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile. A combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can experiment with other favorites.
  • Chilling the Dough: After filling the pastry pockets, chill them for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the dough set and prevents the filling from seeping out during baking.
  • Egg Wash for a Golden Crust: Brush the pastry pockets with an egg wash before baking. This creates a golden brown crust and adds a glossy shine.
  • Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on the pastry pockets while baking to ensure they reach a golden brown color without overcooking. Overcooked pockets can become dry.

Conclusion:

Bacon and chicken pastry pockets are a delightful combination of savory flavors and textures, perfect for a quick meal or snack. With crispy bacon, tender chicken, melted cheese, and flaky pastry, these pockets are sure to be a hit. Following these tips and experimenting with different ingredient combinations, you can create delicious and satisfying pastry pockets that will impress your friends and family.
