Chicken Spinach Feta Puff Pastry Pockets Recipes

GREEK SPINACH FETA CHICKEN POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Unfold both sheets of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll them out a little bit if they are looking small.
• Spread softened cream cheese evenly over pastry sheet leaving about 1/2 inch space along the edges.
• Evenly distribute the spinach over half of the puff pastry sheet (width wise), again leaving about a 1/2 inch space along the edges.
• Next, evenly distribute chicken and green onions over the spinach, still saving that 1/2 inch space around the edges.
• Lastly, evenly sprinkle crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the chicken, still leaving a 1/2 inch space around edges.
• Fold over the half of the puff pastry that doesn't have the ingredients on it and seal edges tightly.
• Place on a cookie sheet (greased, or lined with parchment paper or silpat). If you want your the top to be browned and shiny, brush some beaten egg over the top of the puff pastry.
• Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes or until top is nice and golden brown.
• Cut into slices and stuff your face.

SPINACH AND FETA PUFF PASTRY BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Thaw frozen spinach in microwave according to package directions or by running under warm water. Drain spinach, squeezing the excess liquid from it. In a bowl, mix the spinach, feta, garlic, pepper, and nutmeg together.
• Flour a clean, dry countertop or other flat working surface. Lay out the puff pasty on the floured surface. Flour the top of the dough. Roll out the puff pastry until it is half as thick (about 1/8-inch) and about 24 by 12 inches. Trim edges to size if necessary. Cut into 3-inch strips crosswise and lengthwise, making 32 (3-inch) squares. Make sure the squares are well floured then stack them in a little pile.
• Fill a little dish with some room temperature water. Imagine each square you work with is separated in half by a diagonal. Place a couple teaspoons of filling in the top half. Dip a finger into the water and moisten the edges of the top half with water. Fold the bottom half to meet the edges of the top half. Use a fork to seal the edges.
• Place finished pockets on a nonstick baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Serve warm.
