Instructions: How to Cook Chicken Friand La Madeleine

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms, and cook until softened.
3. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and white wine, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
6. Add the shredded chicken and heavy cream, stirring until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into squares. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each square.
8. 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.
9. Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Friand La Madeleine!
