Ingredients
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 °C) (200 degrees C (400 °F)). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry sheet and cut into 4 to 6 squares (depending on size preference).
Adjust the square so it's a diamond shape, with the bottom point right in front of you.
Place an equal amount of shredded chicken, a spoonful of pesto, and a sprinkle of Swiss cheese down the center of each pastry diamond.
Fold the 2 opposite corners over filling so they meet in the middle, forming a neat football-shaped parcel, then press together to seal.
Brush the top of each parcel with egg white for shine, then sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown and cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
The recipe yields 4 to 6 packets depending on how large you cut the pastry squares. Let the packets rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set slightly.
