Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix the stuffing with boiling water as per pack instructions and leave to stand for 5 mins. Next add in the chicken mince, season well, and combine thoroughly using your hands until evenly mixed.
- Assemble the Plaits
Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal rectangles and place them on a lined baking tray. Spread your chutney of choice down the centre of each rectangle, leaving a gap around the edges. Add the filling on top, flattening and shaping it evenly along the centre. Cut diagonal strips down both sides of the pastry, trim the ends, then fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a plait effect. Press gently to seal and brush with a beaten egg.
- Bake & Enjoy
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C Fan/210°C Electric / Gas Mark 6 for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is fully cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving and enjoy your perfectly golden plaits.
Serve with a fresh side salad for a light meal or pair with creamy mash and greens for a comforting, hearty option.
Please note oven and air fryer timings may vary. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and piping hot throughout before serving.
