Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Season the chicken breasts with half the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until lightly golden and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly before shredding into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, remaining garlic powder, and parsley until well combined.
On a floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet slightly to smooth the edges. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, then add shredded chicken on top. Fold the corners of the puff pastry around the filling to form a bundle and pinch to seal.
Place the chicken bundles seam-side down in the prepared casserole dish.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with remaining salt and black pepper.
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken bundles in the casserole dish.
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the puff pastry is cooked through.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Bundles Layered Casserole warm with your favorite side dish or salad.
