To prepare these delicious puff pastry circles with chicken and mushrooms, we start by making the dough. If you have store-bought puff pastry, it will make everything quicker, but you can also opt for a homemade dough recipe, which will add an authentic taste to your dish. On a clean surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5 mm. Using a drinking glass or another round-edged container, cut out two circles from the dough. From the second circle, use a small glass to cut a smaller circle in the middle, thus creating the characteristic shape of the palarioare. Place the large circles on top of each other, brushing a little beaten egg between them to secure them. Once finished, brush the entire surface with egg and place it in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius. Bake until the circles turn golden and puff up nicely.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a frying pan, melt 30 g of butter and add the finely chopped chicken. Season with salt and add a little water, allowing it to simmer for 5-8 minutes, so the chicken becomes tender and well-cooked. If you have fresh mushrooms, wash them well, then boil them in salted water to preserve their flavor and texture. Once cooked, add the mushrooms to the chicken in the pan and keep everything warm, so the flavors meld together.
Prepare the sauce: in the same pan, add 50 g of butter and let it melt. Add the flour and stir vigorously to avoid lumps. Gradually incorporate the chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously. Add the beaten egg yolks and put everything on low heat. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, allowing it to simmer until it comes to a boil. Add the wine and mix well.
After the puff pastry has baked, check if the hole in the middle has closed up, and if so, cut it with a sharp knife, being careful not to ruin the shape. Fill the puff pastry circles with the chicken and mushroom mixture, covering with a rich sauce. Serve the dish warm, alongside a side of plain or flavored rice for a perfect contrast. This recipe is not only tasty but also a true visual feast, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your meal!
