Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 4 oz cream cheese or 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or parsley
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp butter (for gravy)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for gravy)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (for gravy)
  • 1/4 cup cream or milk (for gravy)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (for gravy)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (for gravy)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (for gravy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, heat butter or olive oil and sauté onions, garlic, and mushrooms until soft and fragrant.
  3. Stir in chopped chicken and season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
  4. Add cream cheese or heavy cream and cook until the mixture is creamy and thickened. Let cool slightly.
  5. Cut puff pastry sheets into squares. Spoon filling into the center of each, fold into triangles or rectangles, and seal edges with a fork.
  6. Brush each pastry with egg wash and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  8. While baking, prepare the gravy: melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour to form a roux, then slowly whisk in chicken broth and cream until smooth and thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  9. Serve hot pillows with a generous drizzle of savory gravy on top.

Notes

  • Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for quicker prep.
  • For richer gravy, add a splash of white wine or Dijon mustard.
  • Mini versions make great appetizers.
  • Unbaked filled pastries can be frozen for later baking.
