Hello Lovely folks.
Happy November!
It’s my birthday month!! So expect mainly baking recipes (that’s fair head’s-up I hope); you would love ‘em don’t worry 🤗
First up is the classic Chicken Puff.
This mildly spiced Chicken Puff; when piping hot has a silky, molten bite highlighting the creamy sauce base & succulent chicken, once cooled the spices come forth in bursts of flavor to compliment the chicken.
Surprisingly as a kid this classic Chicken Puff was my least favourite; over the spiced Masala Chicken Puff or hearty Mutton Puff. As an adult I can’t rave over enough over the subtle flavor genius this modest Puff packs.
The fact that it’s easy to make; will have you pulling your oven mittens.
RECIPE
Time Taken: 1.5 hours (including baking time)
Yield: 24 mini puffs
Method:
1) You need to thaw or defrost the Puff pastry sheets; I use store brought ones you can make your own.
2) Take about 300gms of boneless chicken salted, boiled and shredded. I velvet the chicken before cooking which gives a succulent meat flavor.
3) Chop 1 medium onion & 1 green chilli
4) Take 2tbsp butter and 2tbsp oil, saute the onions, chilli & 1tsp of ginger-garlic paste.
5) Add half cup of AP flour, cook till the flour is well roasted.
6) Add 1 cup of milk and make a white sauce. Make sure to whisk well so no lumps form.
7) Add the shredded chicken, half tsp white pepper, 1tbsp mayo and a pinch of nutmeg pd.
8) Mix well and let the mixture cool.
9) On a floured surface roll-out the puff pastry, using a frilled round cutter cut shapes to compliment your muffin pan size.
10) Pre-heat oven to 190 deg C.
11) Prep muffin pans by brushing with butter and sprinkle a bit of flour.
12) Place one round shape in the muffin pan and press gently to form a cup shape.
13) Spoon a heaped tsp of the filling in the center.
14) Place another round shaped puff pastry on top and with wet fingers to form a sort of pot pie.
15) Complete all puffs accordingly.
16) Brush with egg wash, place in a baking tray and bake for 20-30 mins.
17) Gently prise the Chicken puff out of the muffin pan.
18) Serve warm with ketchup or go alacarte.
