Ingredients

Pastry Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced

1/4 cup ice water

Chicken Alfredo Filling:

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons cream cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Egg Wash:

1 egg

1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Prepare the Pastry Dough:

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Slowly stir in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Make the Chicken Alfredo Filling:

- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for approximately 1 minute until fragrant.

- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring until heated through. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.

- Gradually add the Parmesan cheese and cream cheese, stirring until fully melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Preheat the Oven:

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll Out the Dough:

- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out circles, approximately 3 inches in diameter.

Assemble the Crazy Puffs:

- Place about a tablespoon of the Chicken Alfredo filling in the center of each dough circle.

- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

Prepare Egg Wash:

- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the mixture on the tops of the puffs to give them a golden color when baked.

Bake the Crazy Puffs:

- Place the filled puffs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

Serve:

- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious Chicken Alfredo Crazy Puffs!
