In a food processor, chop the chicken breast
In a large skillet, over high heat, cook the chicken with garlic, bacon, mustard, salt, paprika, and bell peppers, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender (about 5 minutes)
Add the flour, mix well, and cook, adding water as needed, until a thick paste forms (about 2 minutes)
Remove from heat, add parsley, mix well, and let cool
Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cold butter, mixing with your fingertips until crumbly
Add the egg and water, and knead lightly with your hands
Form into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap
Refrigerate for about 15 minutes
Preheat the oven to 200°C (hot)
Dust a clean surface with flour
With a rolling pin, roll out the dough to form a rectangle of 30cm x 40cm
With a knife or pastry blender, cut the dough in crosswise to form four rectangles of 15cm x 20cm
Place the chicken filling on each rectangle of dough
Join the edges of the pastry and press with a fork. Reserve
