Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut a rectangle of pastry that is about 12 inches by 8 inches.
3
In a small bowl, mix together the chicken, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Arrange the chicken mixture in the center of the pastry rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
4
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Fold the pastry over the chicken, pressing the edges to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
5
Place the pastry on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top with the unsalted butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
