# How to Prepare:
01 -

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.

Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 10 × 10 cm squares.

Place a generous spoonful of chicken mixture onto the centre of each pastry square. Fold corners over the filling and press edges with a fork to seal.

# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure pastry is fully thawed and kept cold until use for optimal flakiness.
