Инструкции
- Unfold pastry sheets and roll each sheet into a 14 x 12 inch rectangle on a floured surface. Cut 1 sheet into 4 (7 x 6 inch) rectangles; cut second sheet into 2 (7 x 6 inch) rectangles and 1 (12 x 6 inch) rectangle. Set large rectangle aside. Shape each small rectangle into an oval by trimming off corners. Spread pastry ovals evenly with cheese.Sprinkle chicken breast halves with salt and pepper; place one in center of each pastry oval. Lightly moisten pastry edges with water. Fold ends over chicken; fold sides over and press to seal. Place each bundle, seam side down, on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Cut remaining large pastry rectangle into 12 x 1/4 inch strips. Braid 2 strips together, and place crosswise over chicken bundles, trimming and reserving excess braid; braid 2 additional strips, and place lengthwise over bundle, trimming and tucking ends under. Repeat procedure with remaining strips. Cover and chill up to 2 hrs, if you like.
- Put together egg and 1 tbsp water; brush over pastry bundles. Bake at 400 degrees on lower oven rack 25 min or possibly till bundles are golden. Garnish, if you like. Yields 6 servings.
- Note: 1/2 cup chives and onion flavored cream cheese may be substituted for Alouette cheese, if you like.
