Mango Chicken Puffs Appetizers (Video)

Mango chicken puffs are easy puff pastry appetizers ready in under 30 minutes. Imagine creamy mango chicken filling sandwiched between puff pastry!

Guys, guys, guys! Do you like delicious AND easy finger food ideas? Are you a fan of entertaining at home? If yes, then you must try these mango chicken puffs! They were one of my favorite puff pastry appetizers when living in Ireland and I was delighted when I managed to source mango chutney here in Spain so I could make them!

They are a bit different from your typical bite size food recipes and they might not even look as pretty as other appetizers but their taste will win you over! It’s not always about the looks, you know? However, if you are after the looks then  these Anchovy Hors’d Oeuvres or these Blue Cheese Palmiers could be exactly what you are looking for!

But! Imagine a layer of puff pastry followed by a layer of mango chicken filling and finished off with another layer of puff pastry. This is a very easy party food recipe. It is also not time consuming and most of all these bites taste divine!

Mango Chicken Puffs recipe breakdown:

Chicken breasts:
I suggest you cook the chicken a day before and cut it into small pieces or you can shred it. In general, the smaller the pieces the better. In some countries you can also buy ready cooked chicken breasts and these work perfectly, if you are stuck for time.

Puff pastry:
Get ready rolled rectangular puff pastry. Cut it into small rectangles. I suggest about 6x 3cm/2.4×1.5inch each. Place them onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment paper. Now sprinkle these with chia seeds. If you don’t have chia seeds, feel free to use poppy seeds. You can also omit this step if you wish.

Now all you need to do is throw the tray in the oven and take it out once they are done. Be careful not to burn them – usually you fill puff pastry with something so it takes longer to bake them.

A word of advice:
I noticed that when baking puff pastry on its own (without any filling) it doesn’t do well when baked at a high temperature. The sheets don’t rise to their full potential for some reason. They will still taste amazing but to get the most out of them it’s best to bake them at 180C/356F (I followed the package instructions and baked the first batch at 200C/400F. I ended up with puffs but they were not as puffed as the second batch baked at 180C/356F. You might be able to notice the difference when comparing the photos with the video).

Assembling mango chicken puffs:
Puff pastry rectangle + mango chicken mixture + puff pastry rectangle = a perfect mango chicken puff pastry appetizer ready to be served!

So what do you think? Do you like what you read? I like easy snacks for parties and that is why I made these puff pastry appetizers. Guys, they are hard to resist! If you do a lot of entertaining at home then this is something you should have on your menu.
