Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in your skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent, then add minced garlic and stir for an additional minute.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms, seasoned with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until tender and most moisture evaporates.
  4. Stir in shredded cooked chicken and heavy cream. Cook this mixture for 5 to 6 minutes until it thickens slightly, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
  5. Dust your clean work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to about ⅛ inch thick. Cut into squares approximately 4 inches by 4 inches.
  6. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold and seal edges, using a fork to crimp if desired.
  7. Arrange pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Let the pastries cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving.
