Give a flavored balsamic vinegar a try—pomegranate or cranberry would be delicious with the richness of the pastry and chicken. Pricking the pastry dough well with a fork keeps it from puffing up too much, so you can top each flaky piece with the chicken and shallot mixture.

Instructions
- Heat oven to 400˚F. Unfold dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into 16 (2-1/2-inch) squares. Generously prick each piece with a fork. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill 10 minutes.
- Whisk egg and water together; lightly brush onto dough. Bake about 15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and honey; cook and stir about 15 minutes or until shallots begin to brown. Stir in balsamic vinegar, chicken, salt and pepper.
- Spoon chicken mixture on top of each piece of pastry; top with cheese. Bake about 3 minutes longer or until cheese is softened. Sprinkle with thyme.
