• 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

• 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 egg (for egg wash)

• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.

3. Prepare the puff pastry: Unfold one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into equal rectangles or squares (about 6–8 per sheet depending on your size preference).

4. Fill and fold: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto one side of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to form a rectangle or triangle, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.

5. Egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash for a shiny golden finish.
