    This delicious crispy puff pastry consists of seasoned chicken breasts with onions, broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms, smothered in rich, creamy cheese. Serve it for dinner and enjoy the cheesy taste.
    The whole family will go nuts for these cheesy delights!

    Whether you stuff, top, wrap or twist it, puff pastry is so versatile with sweet or savory ingredients. I usually keep a pack in the freezer and play around with the ingredients.

    This recipe is one I created when I was thinking of a new way to serve puff pastry. I used chicken breasts, mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, and cheese. It has been a big hit with our whole family ever since!

    This cheesy chicken stuffed puff pastry can be served hot or cold since both ways are equally delicious. You can play with the cheeses that you like. It is so crispy and yes, cheesy! Great as a quick snack, brunch, an appetizer, for dinner, or for parties.

    This cheesy chicken puff pastry is so versatile and can be served with many dishes. Try it with broccoli mushroom soup. Add the soup gravy on top for a great flavor. You can also serve it with Middle Eastern Salad ,Fattoush salad, or some roasted vegetables.


    What You Need to Make this Cheesy Chicken Puff Pastry

    You only need a few ingredients and to make this cheesy goodness!

    Puff pastry: You can you use fresh or frozen puff pastry. Frozen puff pastry can be just as good as fresh and is easier to work with. It also puffs up into gorgeous, flaky layers.

    Chicken breasts: Chicken breasts are perfect for this recipe. They make the perfect combo with cheese.

    Vegetables: You will need bell peppers, onions, and broccoli.

    Cheese: You can use any kind of cheese you want. I used Mozzarella cheese here. The more cheesy your chicken puff pastry is, the more delicious it would be.

    Spices: You will need some paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and roasted garlic seasoning to season the chicken and veggies.

    Egg white: You will need the egg white to brush the top of your puff pastry. This will give it the amazing brown color.


    Cheesy, Flaky Goodness!

    Vegans? We’ve Got You Covered!

    If you want to make this recipe vegan, it’s very easy. Instead of using chicken you can make it with tofu.

    Start off by draining the liquid from the tofu. You can pat it or a place a heavy pan over it. This step is very essential, so don’t skip it. Then, sauté’ the tofu and the vegetables together and drain them to get rid of the excess liquid.

    You can skip the cheese or add your favorite type of vegan cheese.


    The Best Way to Thaw Puff Pastry

    Frozen puff pastry is such a kitchen playmaker that it’s worth keeping some on hand at all times. Plain puff pastry can be quickly transformed into cookies or snacks, or it can be used to make a quick but stunning dinner.

    While a quick puff pastry can be made at home, it isn’t necessary. Frozen puff pastry can be just as good as fresh and is easier to work with. It also puffs up into gorgeous, flaky layers.

    How to Thaw Puff Pastry

    These are the 3 common ways to thaw puff pastry:

    Puff Pastry can be thawed in the refrigerator. Place each sheet on a plate, cover with a plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to defrost for about 4 hours.

    To thaw pastry at room temperature, remove outer wrapping. Thaw pastry sheets until they can easily be unfolded, not more than 40 minutes.

    To thaw in the microwave, remove 1 pastry sheet from the box and wrap it in a paper towel. Place in the microwave for 15 seconds on HIGH. Flip the pastry sheet over. Microwave for another 15 seconds. If the pastry does not unfold easily, microwave another five seconds on each side.

    Once the puff pastry has thawed, work quickly while it is still cold. 


    Scrumptious, Comforting, and Impressive

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    What makes puff pastry puff?

    Puff pastry is a simple dough that is stretched and folded to form multiple layers. When the dough bakes, the layers puff up as the moisture in the dough turns into steam, creating that amazing flaky texture that everyone loves.

    Can I make this chicken stuffed puff pastry ahead of time?

    Sure. It can be assembled and refrigerated on baking sheets, covered, for up to 2 days. Chicken puffs can also be baked ahead of time and served at room temperature.

    What to serve this chicken puff pastry with?

    You can serve this cheesy chicken puff pastry with broccoli mushroom soup. Add the soup gravy on top for a great flavor. You can also serve it with Middle Eastern Salad ,Fattoush salad, or some roasted vegetables.



    Top Tips

    Be careful when handling puff pastry that hasn’t thawed completely; it will tear if you unfold it while it’s still frozen.

    Don’t leave the dough out on the counter for too long; it’s much easier to handle right out of the fridge.

    Roll out your Puff Pastry dough with a long, heavy rolling pin: it will help create an even pastry all over and you won’t have to press down too hard to roll it out.

    When rolling out the ends and edges, be careful not to press the layers together too hard. This will prevent the pastry from rising.

    It’s very important to drain the chicken and the vegetables very well for at least 10 minutes before stuffing the puff pastry.

    You can use any kind of cheese you want. The more cheesy your chicken puff pastry is, the more delicious it would be.

    Brushing the chicken puff pastry with egg whites gives it this nice golden color.
