Prep Time35 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr 20 mins
Ingredients
 1 Chicken peeled once cooked in its sauce.
 350 Almond
 3 Hard-boiled egg
 1 Onion
 5 Cumin
 5 Paprika
 5 Cilantro
 2 Cinnamon
 Icing sugar (for dusting)
 Salt
 Pepper
 2 Egg yolk
Directions
1

Cook the chicken in a pot with the onions, spices, and olive oil. Add a bit of water for cooking. Boil the eggs in a small pot until they become hard-boiled. Steam the angel hair pasta. If you are using Chinese noodles, soak them in warm water.

2

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and tear it into pieces on a plate. Peel the eggs, grate them onto a plate, and set them aside for later.

3

Once the chicken is shredded, take a dish to fill the pastry leaves; you can double them so they don't break. Start by adding the chicken inside and the onions on top (without the sauce so the pastry doesn't break). Add the hard-boiled eggs on top, then the almonds mixed with sugar and cinnamon. Close the circles and seal with egg yolk or butter.

4

Once the circle is closed, spread a little egg yolk on top and place it on the tray. Repeat the same steps with the other sheets.

5

Then, place them in the oven at 180°C for 30 to 45 minutes.

6

To finish, once cooked, place the mini pastries on a plate and sprinkle them with powdered sugar using a sieve. Decorate with cinnamon as shown in the photo.
