Chicken and Brie Puff Pastry Parcels

November 1, 2013 by Maureen 81 Comments

Ohhhh, this is SO good.  If you’ve ever wondered what to do with leftover chicken, this is it!

Chicken and Brie Parcels

I wouldn’t lead you down the wrong path, I promise.  I got the idea for this last week and I roasted a chicken yesterday just so I could have cooked chicken to make these today.  When John’s dad said, “Leftovers?”  I told him this was very special and if he didn’t behave it would be cat food for him!

These would be great for a meal like we had but they’d also be terrific in smaller sizes as finger food for a party.  I’m eager to give them a try the next time we’re entertaining.

Chicken and Brie Parcels

There aren’t a lot of ingredients and you can buy the pastry and make them ahead and bake at mealtime.  What could be easier?  (well, going out to dinner would be easier but we’re talking home cooked food.)

You chop an onion and small clove of garlic and saute them in butter, add chopped sage, brandy, salt and pepper and then add flour and then APPLE JUICE!  Yeah, gravy with apple juice.  It’s amazing.  You can leave out the brandy or garlic but I thought they were lovely in this sauce.  Add the chicken and let it cool.

Cut squares of puff pastry and put about a quarter cup of chicken mixture and either fold over or use another slice of pastry as a top, then crimp the edges and put in the fridge til time to bake.  They took about 20 minutes at 200C/400F.
