Ingrediënten
Make sure to have all ingredients ready before starting with the chicken mixture to make the process smoother.
If using frozen puff pastry, ensure it’s fully thawed according to the package instructions.
Distribute the chicken mixture evenly across the puff pastry and roll it tightly to help maintain the shape while baking.
Keep an eye on the oven while the chicken-pesto bites are baking. Every oven is different, so check regularly.
Serve with extra pesto on the side for dipping if you like.
Feel free to experiment with toppings. You can sprinkle some grated Parmesan over the bites before baking for an extra crispy top layer.
