Instructions: How to Cook Chicken Friand La Madeleine
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms, and cook until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and white wine, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

- Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into squares. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each square.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg, then fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal.
- Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Friand La Madeleine!
