You Don’t Have Cooked Chicken?

How to Make the Teriyaki Chicken Puff Pastry Bites
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, combine the tamari, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic over medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes until well combined and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add ¼ cup of the sauce to the shredded chicken and mix until thoroughly coated.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet with a floured rolling pin until it is less than ¼ inch thick and measures about 18” by 18”.
Using a pizza cutter, cut the pastry sheets into 12 diamonds.
In the center of each diamond-shaped pastry, poke a circular shape with a fork or skewer. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
Using a basting brush, generously brush sauce onto each diamond-shaped pastry and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Place about a tablespoon of shredded chicken into the center of each pastry. Place a tablespoon of chicken into the center and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
Bake the puff pastry bites for 18 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Optional: Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
Tips and Tricks
- Thaw your puff pastry according to package instructions before beginning the recipe.
- For added flavor, marinate the shredded chicken in the teriyaki sauce for a few hours before assembling the puff pastry bites.
- Feel free to use a different type of protein, such as shrimp or tofu, instead of chicken.
- Serve these bites with extra teriyaki sauce for dipping.
Substitutions and Variations
- If you don’t have tamari, you can use soy sauce instead.
- Customize the flavor by adding your favorite spices or herbs to the chicken mixture.
Storage Instructions
To Store: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat: Place the bites in the oven at 375 degrees F for about 5-10 minutes.
