    Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Puff pastry sheets (two 12\u00d710 inch sheets)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 large chicken breast, cooked and shredded<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\/2 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\/4 cup chicken broth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tbsp butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Salt and pepper to taste<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 egg, beaten<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tbsp milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Flour for dusting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Optional garnish: chive sticks, cilantro, or green onion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Directions<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Preheat the Oven<\/strong>: Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Prepare the Filling<\/strong>: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and saut\u00e9 the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the flour and stir for a minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Add the shredded chicken and vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Prepare the Pastry<\/strong>: Dust your working surface with flour, and gently unroll the puff pastry. Cut out 8 rounds using a 4-inch straight-edge cutter for the base, and 8 smaller rounds with a curly-edge 2.75-inch cutter for the tops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Assemble the Cups<\/strong>: Press each large pastry round into the cups of a muffin tray. Fill each with the cooled chicken mixture. Brush the edges of the pastry with a mixture of beaten egg and milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Seal and Vent<\/strong>: Place the smaller pastry rounds on top, pressing the edges to seal. Make a small slit on each top for steam to escape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Bake<\/strong>: Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Bake for 15 minutes at 400\u00b0F, then reduce the temperature to 375\u00b0F and bake for an additional 10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Cool and Garnish<\/strong>: Let cool in the tray for 5 minutes before garnishing with chive sticks, cilantro, or green onion, if desired. Serve warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
