Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (1 lb) refrigerated puff pastry sheets

1 cup marinara sauce, for serving

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

Add the beaten egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the chicken mixture. Stir until well combined.

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases, and cut each sheet into 4 squares.

Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each pastry square.

Fold the pastry squares over the filling diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges together tightly to seal.

Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra seal and to add a decorative touch.

Place the filled pillows on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a bit of melted butter or additional beaten egg for a golden color.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

While the pillows are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat until warmed through.

Once the pillows are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
