Brown the chicken in the butter (or margarine) until golden. Let cool for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Unfold the pastry and roll it lightly into a 14-inch (35 cm) square. Cut into 4 squares.
Spread 2 teaspoons of the cheese (or pareve spread) in the center of each square, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon parsley and top with a cooled chicken breast.
Beat the egg with the water. Brush a little on the pastry edges and seal each square.
Place seam side down on a baking sheet and brush the pastry with the egg.
Bake for 25 minutes.
