A 10-minute dinner recipe from a 1960s British magazine that has driven the whole world crazy!

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: phyllo dough

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber while phyllo is more budget-friendly.

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: turkey breast

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while thighs are often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

mixed vegetables

🥗Healthier: fresh vegetables

💰Cheaper: frozen vegetables

Fresh veggies enhance flavor, while frozen are often cheaper and convenient.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Sauté chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in mixed vegetables and herbs, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the pastry into rectangles large enough to encase the filling.

Place a spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each pastry rectangle.

Sprinkle cheese over the filling if using.

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

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
