Puff Pastry Mexican-Style Chicken

Not rated yetRate it

Flaky puff pastry filled with juicy chicken, vegetables, and bold Mexican-inspired spices. The chicken is cooked with peppers, corn, and seasoning, then wrapped in buttery pastry and baked until golden and crisp. This savory pastry works well as a warm snack, light dinner, or party dish.

Preparation

8 steps · tap a step to mark it done

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft.

  2. Add the diced chicken and cook until lightly browned.

  3. Add to pan bell pepper, corn, and red beans. Stir

  4. Season with paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook briefly until everything is well combined and the filling is cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  5. Roll out the puff pastry and cut in stripes 3 cm from longer border on both sides. Don't cut middle of pastry (!)

  6. Spoon the chicken filling onto the pastry, then fold or shape as desired. I prefer to close the puff pastry in a braided shape. I take one strip from the left and one strip from the right and join them over the center, where the filling is placed.

  7. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame.

  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, until golden and puffed. Serve warm. ENJOY!

Cook’s note

Allow the filling to cool slightly before adding it to the pastry to keep the dough crisp. You can adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing the chili.
