Easy Herb Chicken in Pastry

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.

Инструкции

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper if desired. Melt butter in skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned. Remove chicken, let rest until room temperature; 30 - 45 minutes. Note: This step can be prepared 24 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate; remove and allow chicken to come to room temperature.
  2. Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature 30 minutes. Mix egg and water. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  3. Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll into 14-inch square and cut into 4 (7-inch) squares. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese spread in center of each square. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley and top with cooled chicken.
  4. Brush edges of squares with egg mixture. Fold each corner to center on top of chicken and seal edges. Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush with egg mixture.
  5. Bake 25 minutes or until golden.
