Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 200 grams cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 150 grams mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 150 ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon mustard optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh thyme leaves optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a pan, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until soft.
  2. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  4. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to form a thick, creamy sauce.
  5. Add the shredded chicken, mustard (if using), and season with salt, pepper, and thyme leaves.
  6. Let the filling cool slightly.
  7. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into four equal squares.
  8. Place a spoonful of the chicken and mushroom filling in the center of each square.
  9. Fold over to create a triangle or rectangle and seal the edges with a fork.
  10. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  11. Preheat the air-fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 2 minutes.
  12. Place the parcels in the air-fryer basket, leaving space between them.
  13. Air-fry for 10–12 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Notes

My Tips to Make the Best Jamie Oliver Air-fryer Chicken & Mushroom Pastry Parcels
  • Let the filling cool before assembling to prevent the pastry from getting soggy.
  • Make sure to seal the edges well to keep the filling from leaking out during cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air-fryer basket to allow the pastry to puff up properly.
  • Use a good quality all-butter puff pastry for the best flavor and texture.
