  • Ooo Rita, I was wondering what to do with the rest of my puff pastry – these look and sound amazing! Can I just ask about how you cook the chicken? Did you boil it or poach it and for how long? Thank you! and thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday.

  • I boil the chicken and then shred it most of the time. However, if I have leftover roast chicken (Costco) I use that and that is cooked. Either way it is the sauce and I think the green pepper punch that makes these chicken puffs yummy for me. Experiment and add your favorites. 🙂

  • I boil the chicken and then shred it. Boil till the chicken is nice and soft, 20 minutes or more.

    The rest of the puff pastry can be baked by it self with a egg-wash. This will give you nice puff biscuits. Add cumin to the pastry if you like.

  • Hi Rita
    When you say two cups of chicken breast I am not sure how much kgs please. Please can you let me know.
    Thanks

  • Hi Minoo,
    I use approx 2 lbs of the chicken breasts with no bones or skin.
    You should have 2 cups after the chicken is cooked, drained and sliced.
    If you have more you can use it in sandwiches.
    Do let us know when you make it.
