Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

18 oz puff pastry block
1 sprinkle flour
⅓ cup red bell pepper
⅓ cup green bell pepper
⅓ cup yellow bell pepper
½ cup onion, about 1/2 an onion, diced
5.3 oz cooked chicken, shredded
1 tablespoon fajita spice mix
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

Dust a clean work surface with a sprinkling of flour, and roll half of the puff pastry into a large circle.
Place the largest plate you have (a pizza tray also works) on top of the pastry and tear around the edges to create a clean circle. Repeat with the other half of the pastry.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) (Gas Mark 6).
Fry the onions and mixed peppers until the onions are translucent.
Add the pre-cooked shredded chicken (to make shredded chicken, simply season and bake some chicken breasts, put it into a bowl and tear it up with 2 forks). Stir in the fajita spice mix and allow to cool while you do the next step.
Transfer one of the sheets to a baking tray, and spread the chicken fajita mix in an even layer, leaving about 1 cm (½ inch) free from the edge. Sprinkle a layer of cheese.
Cover with the second layer of puff pastry. Place an egg cup (or a shot glass) in the center of the pastry and make 8-10 even cuts all the way around the pastry.
Brush the beaten egg over the puff pastry.
Twist each segment twice to make it resemble a sun-like shape.
Bake for 18-22 minutes in the center of the oven, until deep golden brown and no grey patches remain on the pastry.
Enjoy!

Tips:

For the best results, use a sharp knife to cut the chicken into thin strips. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
If you don't have fajita seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt.
Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
If you are using a pre-made puff pastry sheet, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using.
To make the twists, cut the puff pastry sheet into 12 equal strips. Then, place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each strip and fold the edges over to enclose the filling.
Bake the twists in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Conclusion:
