Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 120 grams Camembert cheese
- 100 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons Cranberry sauce
- 1 piece Egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool slightly before slicing into thin strips.
Cut the Camembert cheese into small, bite-sized pieces.
Lay out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into two equal squares, creating four squares in total.
Place a few fresh spinach leaves in the center of each pastry square, followed by some chicken slices, Camembert cheese pieces, and a tablespoon of cranberry sauce.
Fold the corners of the pastry square up to the center, pinching them together to create a parcel. Make sure the edges are sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Brush the beaten egg over the top and sides of each parcel to ensure they bake to a golden brown.
Transfer the parcels to the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Allow the parcels to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with a side salad or as an indulgent appetizer.
