Creamy Chicken and Garlic Picnic Pasties-Parcels With Boursin image

Delectable litle pasties or pastry parcels filled with tender chunks of chicken breast and French Boursin cream Cheese, delicious! These are so easy to make, as they use cooked chicken breast, making them very handy for any leftovers you might have. France meets England in these pastry parcels, I have taken the idea of a traditional pasty, then added a little French touch with the Boursin cheese, thus dispensing with any need to make a white sauce to bind the chicken! Great for lunch boxes, picnics, lunch, supper or a light meals or snacks.NB: (I would not advise re-heating these, as the chicken has already been cooked twice before - they are just as delicious warm or cold.)

These pasties were a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said the filling was delicious and the pastry was flaky and buttery. I think I'll try making them again with a different filling next time.
