# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, mix cooked chicken, chopped broccoli, cream cheese, whole milk, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and creamy.
03 - On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry sheets and cut each into four equal rectangles for a total of eight pieces.
