Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (1 lb) puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      On a floured surface, roll out one puff pastry sheet to smooth out creases, then cut it into squares (about 4x4 inches each). Repeat with the second sheet.

        Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each pastry square, ensuring not to overfill.

          Fold the pastry squares over to create triangles or rectangles and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

            Brush the tops of the pillows with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

                Allow the Chicken Parmesan Pillows to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
