Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the pastry into squares or circles, depending on your preference.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add cooked chicken, spinach, cream cheese, and spices to the skillet; mix until combined and heated through.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pastry piece.

Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges with a fork.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
