Chicken Puffballs

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken diced and cooked
  • 5 pieces of bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 3 green onions chopped finely
  • 6 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
  • 1 1/2 box puff pastry thawed
  • 1 egg whisked

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Lay out the puff pastry to defrost and cut each sheet into 4 squares.
  3. Cook bacon and crumble, shred the cheese, and slice the green onion, set aside.
  4. Cook the diced chicken and dump in a bowl. Add the cream cheese to the bowl of warm chicken and stir until well distributed. Add the bacon, onion, cheese, garlic salt, and red pepper to the bowl, stir well.
  5. After the puff pastry has defrosted, place a large dollop of the chicken mixture into the middle of each square. Pull up the sides to the top center and squeeze together to seal the chicken mixture inside.
