Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

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

1 cup cream cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

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

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Filling: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Make sure to drain any excess fat and set the chicken aside.

    Mix Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, dried basil, and oregano. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the filling achieves a creamy consistency.

      Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

        Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Carefully cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, resulting in a total of 8 squares.

          Fill the Pastries: Take a generous spoonful of the creamy chicken filling and place it in the center of each pastry square. Ensure that you leave a small border around the edges to allow for sealing.

            Seal the Pastries: Fold one corner of the pastry square over to the opposite corner to form a triangle. Firmly press the edges to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra secure closure.

              Add Egg Wash: Lightly brush the tops of each pastry triangle with the beaten egg. This will yield a beautiful, golden color as they bake.

                Bake: Arrange the filled pastries on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown, emitting a delightful aroma.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added burst of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy the rich flavors of creamy sun-dried tomato chicken!
