You can be really creative with puff pastry, it can have sweet fillings, savory fillings or anything you want. Chicken & muhroom swirls is my version of chicken puff pastry and every time I made it my guests loved them 🙂

Ingredients:

• 2 puff pastry sheets (thawed but chilled)
• Some cream cheese spread (I use Philadelphia)
• Some sesame and nigella seeds
• 1 egg and 4 tbspns milk (egg wash)
• Some parmesan or cheddar cheese

FOR CHICKEN FILLING

• 1 chicken breast (boiled and shredded)

• 3 green onions chopped

• Cracked black pepper
• ½ tspn white pepper
• ½ tspn chicken salt

Procedure:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Apply cream cheese on each puff pastry sheet and Cut each one of them into 6 long strips.
• In a saucepan melt butter and add flour. Stir until the four is well combined with butter. Gradually whisk in milk and make a thick paste. Remove from flame.
• Season with all the spices and add chicken and mushrooms to it. Mix and make a spread consistency mixture. Apply this mixture on each strip of the pastry sheet. Sprinkle some cheddar or parmesan and roll each strip into a swirl.
• Place all 12 swirls onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush the egg wash on them, sprinkle some nigella seeds and some sesame seeds and bake for 30 – 35 minutes.
