Notes
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.
It's very important to drain the chicken and the vegetables very well for at least 10 minutes before stuffing them 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.
