What makes these triangles so special is the combination of fresh herbs and spices in the filling. You can use whichever herbs you prefer, but I like to use a mix of basil, thyme, and parsley. The sauce provides a little bit of heat and adds depth of flavor to the dish.
To make the chicken triangles, all you need is some cooked chicken, fresh herbs, bread crumbs, and puff pastry. You can either cook the chicken yourself or use pre-cooked chicken from the store. If you choose to cook your own, the best method is to poach it in boiling water until it’s cooked through. Once the chicken has cooled, finely chop it into small pieces.
Next, mix the chopped chicken with the fresh herbs, bread crumbs, and some salt and pepper. The bread crumbs help to bind the filling together and give it a crispy texture. Take a sheet of puff pastry and cut it into four squares. Spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture onto each square, then fold the pastry over into a triangle shape.
Place the triangles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with a little bit of beaten egg. This will give them a nice golden color and help them to crisp up in the oven. Bake the triangles at 400°F for around 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
While the triangles are baking, you can make the curry sauce. To do this, simply heat some oil in a frying pan and add some chopped onion and garlic. Fry them until they’re softened, then add some curry powder and flour. Stir the mixture for a couple of minutes, then slowly pour in some chicken stock, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add some salt and pepper to taste, and you’re done!
Serve the chicken triangles hot with the curry sauce on the side for dipping. These are perfect for a party or gathering, but can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy lunch or dinner option. They’re also great for meal prep – you can make a batch ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer for a quick snack or meal any time.
