how to make Puff Pastry with Chicken

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
1 package (1 pound) puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Cook the chicken in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
In the same skillet, sauté the frozen vegetables for 3-4 minutes until heated.
To make the sauce, melt butter in the skillet. Stir in flour to create a roux, then gradually add chicken broth and cream until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, cooked chicken, and parsley.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 4×4-inch squares.
Spoon the filling into the center of each square and fold the edges to seal them. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with the egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
