1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 ounce butter |
1 2/3 lbs chicken thigh fillets, cut into 1 . 5in cubes |
7 ounces button mushrooms, sliced |
3 green onions, thinly sliced |
4 ounces ham slices, roughly chopped |
2 tablespoons plain flour |
1/2-3/4 cup milk |
4 sheets puff pastry, ready-rolled, thawed |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
Directions:
1. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and butter. When sizzling, add chicken. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, or until lightly browned.
2. Add mushrooms, onions and ham. Stir until well combined. Cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes or until mushrooms are just softened.
3. Sprinkle over flour, stirring constantly until well combined. Remove from heat. Slowly pour in milk, stirring until smooth. Return to heat.
4. Cook, stirring, for 6 minutes or until sauce comes to the boil. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool completely.

6. Place 8 squares onto prepared baking trays. Spoon chicken mixture over squares, leaving a 1.5cm border around edges.
