Chicken with vegetables in puff pastry envelopes is a dish that combines tender meat, crispy dough, and aromatic vegetables. Its roots go back to Russian cuisine, where puff pastry has long been used to create filled pastries. Tender chicken fillet soaked in spices and apple cider vinegar is complemented by sweet carrots and spicy onions, creating a harmonious flavor. Baked envelopes are not only appetizing but also convenient to serve: they can be presented as a main dish or appetizer on a festive table. This dish is easy to prepare in advance, and the baking makes it especially appealing for family dinners and cozy evenings.

We prepare the filling (can be done an hour before cooking or prepared the night before and left in the fridge): cut chicken fillet into cubes, grate the carrot, chop the onion and mix everything with spices, salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar.
- Chicken breast fillet: 400 g
- Carrot: 1 piece

Roll out the puff pastry (the sheet should be rolled in one direction) to obtain a long rectangular strip, which we cut into 8 squares (resulting in 16 squares from two sheets of dough).
- Puff pastry: 2 pieces

Place the filling on the dough and pinch it into an envelope shape. Arrange the finished envelopes on a greased pan or baking sheet and bake in the oven. After about 25-30 minutes, the dish is ready.
