  • 1 Medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into ¼" (5 mm) slices
  • 1 (400 g) Package Maple Leaf Prime Naturally® Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Slices, finely chopped

directions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. HEAT oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and zucchini and cook until just tender. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Combine chicken, cheese, garlic powder, chili powder and onion-zucchini mixture in a large bowl.
  3. ROLL out each square of pastry (1/2 package) on a work surface lightly dusted with flour to a 12×12" square (30 x30 cm). Cut twelve 4" (10 cm) circles from the pastry. Spoon about 2 tbsp (30 mL) of chicken mixture onto the center of each round. Brush the edges with egg. Fold each round in half crimping the open edge with a fork. Place pastries on prepared baking sheet and brush tops with egg mixture. Repeat with remaining square of pastry. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve.
