Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
2 granny smith apples, peeled and shopped
1 teaspoon thyme

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 small white onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
1 sheet puff pastry
1 egg, beaten

  • Fry apple, garlic and onion in the butter until soft. Add thyme, salt and pepper, honey and chicken. Allow to cool slightly and mix in the cheddar.
  • Roll out the puff pastry until about 2-3 mm thick. Using a glass cut out circles of the pastry. Roll the scraps and keep making circles until you've little to no pastry left.
  • Place about a tablespoon of filling on each circle and seal the edges with egg wash and use a fork to press down to seal.
