Then salt the meat, sprinkle with seasonings to taste and mix. Fry the prepared chicken in a frying pan in oil until tender, stirring occasionally. Peel the onions, then chop them into small cubes.

Roll out the puff pastry on the table, cut it into squares and put the filling in the center. Sprinkle grated cheese on top and secure the puff pastries with an “envelope”. Bake the buns for 30 minutes and serve warm.
Step 1: prepare the dough.
Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature. Roll out a little into a rectangle with a rolling pin. Knife on work surface cut 9 squares the same size and leave for 10 minutes.Step 2: Prepare the chicken breast.
Finely chop the chicken breast with a knife on a cutting board. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil over high heat. Fry chopped chicken on it within 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula. Cool the chicken a little and transfer it to a blender. Step 3: Prepare the onions and mushrooms.
Peel the onion and finely chop it with a knife on a cutting board. Cut the mushrooms with a knife on a cutting board into large pieces. Fry mushrooms and onions in a frying pan with vegetable oil about 5-7 minutes over medium heat. Cool the roast a little and add it to the blender with the chicken. Step 4: prepare the filling.

Place the filling in the middle of the dough square and mold the edges with your hands. Line a baking tray with baking paper, which we grease with vegetable oil. Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet and pierce each puff pastry once with a fork. You can brush the top of the puff pastry with an egg beaten with a fork or sour cream. Bake chicken puff pastries in a preheated oven up to 180 degrees about 15 minutes.
Step 6: Serve the chicken puff pastry.
Transfer the chicken puffs to a serving plate and serve hot or cold to taste. Bon appetit! Before baking, you can sprinkle the puff pastry with sesame seeds.
You can make puff pastries without champignons.
The shape of the puffs can be made in different ways, for example, triangular or round.
Instead of chicken breast, you can use minced chicken, then you can prepare the puff pastries even faster.
You can make puff pastry yourself. For this you will need 250 grams of flour, 250 grams of butter. Add a teaspoon of salt to the flour and add finely chopped chilled butter. Grind it into fine grains with your hands and add 8 tablespoons of cold boiled water. Knead the dough, cover with film and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
I bake from ready-made puff pastry quite often. This is very convenient - your favorite sweets for tea can be prepared quickly and without much labor. Well, chicken puff pastries can be used not only as a delicious dessert, but also as an addition to lunch - to soup or broth.
I, like many women, feel gratitude to the one who invented puff pastry (French chef Claudius Gele), as well as to the one who put its production on stream, which gave us the opportunity not to engage in a labor-intensive process, but simply buy ready-made puff pastry . Of course, I know how to make this kind of dough myself, you can see how I did it. But I only dare to undertake such culinary feats when I have excess time, and about once every two weeks I prepare something from ready-made puff pastry. Today it's chicken puff pastry.
Ready puff pastry is sold frozen. Let's take it out of the freezer and immediately unroll the layers. This can be done using a knife, inserting it between the layers and separating the dough. In this form we will leave it to defrost. This will take about 25 minutes.
During this time, boil the chicken fillet in salted water and cut it into cubes. Finely chop the dill and onion. If you have green onions, you can use them instead of onions.
Combine chicken fillet with herbs and onions, pepper, add salt if necessary. Let's add mayonnaise.
Mix the meat filling for the puff pastries.
Cut the defrosted layers of puff pastry into rectangles: one rectangle should be slightly smaller than the other.
On the smaller layer we make cuts in a checkerboard pattern.
We slightly stretch the smaller layer to make holes, and put the chicken filling on the larger one.
Place the smaller rectangle on top of the larger one and pinch the edges.
We do this procedure with all the dough and all the filling. From 500 g of dough you get 7 puffs (if you make them smaller, then more).
Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and fry the chicken puff pastry until cooked. My puff pastries turned out slightly brown. If you want to get golden brown pastries, you can brush the puff pastries with egg.
Well, my puff pastry puffs are ready. You can start drinking tea. I invite you!
Puff pastries are an almost win-win option. And cooking them with chicken will almost completely earn the gratitude of the eaters.
The choice of chicken meat allows in some cases to do without preliminary heat treatment, which only contributes to the juiciness and naturalness of the dish.
However, puff pastries with boiled or stewed chicken are wonderfully tasty. As for the appearance, the pies and other puff pastry products already look appetizing.
Well, by cutting and slightly exposing the filling you can get both a rugby ball and a magic flower.
Puff pastry and chicken pies made from puff pastry - general cooking principles
Puff pastry can be prepared in your home kitchen, but it usually takes a lot of time. And it doesn’t always turn out to be successful, especially for novice housewives. Store-bought puff pastry is in no way inferior to homemade. Chicken puffs and pies made from it always turn out fluffy, crumbly and tender.
If puff pastries are baked from unleavened puff pastry, then yeast is better suited for pies. To make the dough easy to work with, it is well defrosted in advance at room temperature, placing the packaging on the table. Thawing usually takes no more than half an hour.
Both puff pastries and pies are prepared with boiled or raw chicken. The meat is cut into small cubes, strips or twisted in a meat grinder. You can add mushrooms, cheese, fresh vegetables or eggs and green onions to the meat. For juiciness, sautéed onions, butter, sauces or sour cream are added to the filling.
The product blanks are laid out on a roasting pan greased or lined with parchment, at a distance of the thickness of the little finger from each other. The surface of the products baked in the oven is brushed with beaten egg.
The appearance and size of the products depends only on your imagination. The recipe describes the original design options for such products.
While chicken puff pastries are baked in the oven, puff pastries are often deep-fried. The optimal temperature for baking is no more than 220 degrees. Readiness is determined by the golden color of the baked dough.

Place products only in a well-heated oven. Baking time at optimal temperature conditions is usually no more than a quarter of an hour.
