Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the Filling
Preheat the oven to 180°C Fan / 200°C Electric / Gas Mark 6. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the diced chicken with salt and pepper until golden and cooked through. Add the chopped bacon and continue cooking for a few minutes until slightly crispy. Stir in the cranberry sauce, cream and herbs and season to taste. Then allow the mixture to gently simmer until it thickens. Fold in the cooked stuffing, mix well and set aside.
- Assemble the Parcels
Roll out the puff pastry and slice into 8 evenly sized rectangles. Place 4 rectangles onto a lined baking tray and spoon the filling into the centre of each, leaving a small border around the edges. Brush the edges with egg wash, then place the remaining pastry rectangles on top. Seal the edges using a fork and then lightly score the tops with a knife. Next brush with more egg wash and sprinkle over breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.
- Bake & Enjoy
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and beautifully puffed. Allow to cool slightly before serving and then enjoy your delicious, flaky parcels.
Serve with creamy mash and steamed vegetables for a comforting meal or enjoy perfectly on its own.
Please note oven and air fryer timings may vary. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and piping hot throughout before serving.
