What a great company entree! Chicken breasts top an herb cream cheese base before being wrapped in puff pastry. While they bake, toss a green salad together and serve with a white wine.

This recipe uses store bought pastry and spreadable cheese. If you're feeling adventurous, make your own puff pastry. I provided a link to a great recipe below. For the cheese spread, blend 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and your favorite herbs.

      Robyn, I have a question that I hope you can answer for me. Whenever I make any kind of crusted or wrapped chicken the bottom ends up soggy from the drainage of the chicken. Do you have a cure for this? I would love to give this recipe a try and know I will love it.
      Thanks
      Martha

        I heard of this problem and completely understand. I found this in cookbook my mom had for awhile and make it somewhat frequently. This is the only recipe I ever wrapped in a crust/pastry. Didn't seem to have that problem with this one.

        Basically, I allow the chicken to cool to room temperature before following the rest of instructions. I found the chicken to be a little to warm after 15 minutes. With all the wonderful butter in the pastry, I didn't want it melting before placing in the oven. I'll adjust the directions to my adaptation to make it clear.

        One last thing...Sometimes it may appear your loosing juice in the pan, I think it's more the spread leaking out just a bit. Another tip, I wonder if it would help by preheating the pan in the oven. Which would flash toast the bottom a bit.

        Try this and see.
