👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
If not using pre-cooked chicken, place chicken in a large pot, sprinkle with garlic powder, and cook until tender (about 40 minutes). Drain, let cool, and shred.
- 2
In a large skillet, sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper in olive oil over medium heat until the onion is translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and white wine. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until heated through.
- 4
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir in the raisins, diced olives, diced pimientos, and drained peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring to combine. Let the filling cool slightly.
- 5
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 6
Unfold one puff pastry sheet and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the cooled chicken filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border.
- 7
Unfold the second puff pastry sheet and place it over the filling. Trim any excess pastry and press the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork. Cut a few slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
- 8
Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg wash. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Let cool slightly before cutting into squares or portions. Serve hot or cold.
