Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned but not fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 3 equal squares, making 6 squares total.
Place one chicken breast on the center of each puff pastry square. Top each piece of chicken with an equal amount of the cheese and spinach mixture.
Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the chicken and filling, pinching the edges to seal the bundle completely. Flip the bundle over so the seam is on the bottom, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the bundles with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let the bundles rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
