Mix it well, add less than 3/4th cup chicken of stock or water(you can use chicken or vegetable stock cubes).
Cover and cook for 10 minutes on low-medium flame or till all water evaporates. (It should not be completely dry, but just a little juicy).
Remove the lid and check if chicken and onions are well cooked and add vinegar, pepper powder, and sugar and keep mixing on medium flame till the vinegar evaporates.
While mixing, use your spoon to break the chicken pieces into more smaller pieces and shreds.
Check for seasoning and remove the mixture from heat and let it cool completely
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and take the puff pastry sheet and roll it on a plain surface up to 3mm in thickness and cut out rectangles from the sheet and place a spoonful of mixture on one side of the rectangle.
Apply water on the edges of the dough with the help your finger tips fold one side of the dough onto the other and make sure all sides get stick well and in case some stuffing oozes out, just gently wipe it off.
Place the prepared puffs on a baking tray (cover the tray with foil or baking paper) and give an egg wash on top of all puffs.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes and when done remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Notes:

If you are using white onions instead of red, you may then avoid using sugar or just use a pinch, as white onions are naturally sweet than regular purple or red onions.
