Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Large Bowl
  • Pizza Cutter or Knife
  • Fork

Ingredients
 

Pastry

  • 2 sheets Puff Pastry (14.1 oz each), thawed

Filling

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast cooked and shredded
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions chopped
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper or to taste

Egg Wash

  • 1 Egg beaten
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold.
  • Making the Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Assembling the Jalousie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a 12x12 inch square. Carefully transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet. Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
  • Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry into a 12x12 inch square. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Carefully arrange the strips over the filling in a lattice pattern.
  • Press the edges of the lattice strips onto the bottom layer of pastry to seal. Trim any excess pastry from the edges. Crimp the edges with a fork to create a decorative border.
  • Baking the Jalousie: Brush the entire surface of the jalousie with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the jalousie cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize the filling to your liking. Use different cheeses, vegetables, or spices. Keep puff pastry cold for best results. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
