Ingredients

  • 1 Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 200 ml Double Cream
  • 500 g Chicken
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat until it melts and starts to bubble.
  • Add the onions to the pan and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken changes colour and is cooked through.
  • Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and oregano over the chicken, stirring the spices into the mixture. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the chicken.
  • Pour in the double cream, mixing it well with the chicken and spices. Cook the mixture for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  • Cut the pre-rolled puff pastry sheets into rectangles, ensuring they’re large enough to hold the chicken mixture.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture onto the center of the puff pastry rectangles, spreading it evenly.
  • Place another puff pastry rectangle on top, covering the chicken mixture, and press the edges to seal. Make a few slits at the top to allow steam to escape while baking.
  • Brush the top of the pastry with an egg wash (egg beaten with a little water) to give it a golden, glossy finish.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top for added texture and flavour.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  • Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
