Creating Creamy Chicken Pillows is a straightforward process. Follow these detailed steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it with olive oil.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into squares, about 4×4 inches in size.
4. Fill the Pastry: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each pastry square.
