Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package brick pastry sheets
- 3 chicken breasts
- 1 can fresh mushrooms
- 1 onion
- 4 tablespoons garlic and herb cheese (or other cheese of choice)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- olive oil (for cooking)
- sunflower oil (for brushing)
- fresh coriander (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Slice the onion and cut the chicken into small pieces. Slice the mushrooms. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Sauté the onion: In a pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Avoid burning it, as this could give a bitter taste.
- Add the chicken and mushrooms: Incorporate the chicken pieces and mushrooms into the pan. Cook, stirring for 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken is golden on all sides.
- Season: Add salt, pepper, turmeric, and curry powder. Mix well to coat all ingredients. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the spices to release their aromas.
- Incorporate the cheese: Add the garlic and herb cheese to the mixture. Let simmer for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the bricks: Cut the brick pastry sheets in half. On each half-sheet, place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Fold and shape into a triangle or rectangle, ensuring the edges are sealed well.
- Brush with oil: Preheat your oven to 200°C. Brush each brick with sunflower oil for a nice golden color. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Cook the bricks for 10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve hot: Remove the bricks from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy their crispy texture. You can garnish with fresh coriander for a touch of color and flavor.
