Steps:
- Add the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 18-20 pulses.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and stir to fully combine. Cook, stirring often, until all of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl to cool. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
- Season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Tie the chicken breast with 4 pieces of butcher's twine to create an even cylindrical shape.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast and cook until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken breast to a plate and set the pan aside to make the pan gravy later.
- Remove the butcher's twine using a pair of scissors and brush the chicken all over with the Dijon mustard. Allow the chicken breast to cool to room temperature.
- On 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap, lay out the puff pastry sheet. Arrange overlapping strips of prosciutto over the dough in an even square, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the prosciutto.
- Place the chicken breast at the bottom of the mushroom mixture and tightly and evenly wrap with the prosciutto and puff pastry, using the plastic wrap to help wrap it tightly and seal the ends. Wrap in the plastic, tying the ends together to help keep the Wellington's shape. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the Wellington from the plastic wrap and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a paring knife, make a crosshatch pattern on top of the pastry, making sure not to cut all the way through. Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the Wellington rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1-1½-inch-thick slices.
- While the Wellington rests, make the pan gravy: In the pan with the leftover chicken juices, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, and parsley and transfer to a bowl or gravy boat to serve.
- Serve the Wellington warm with the pan gravy and sides of your choice.
- Enjoy!

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WELLINGTON
This recipe was inspired by a couple of old classics. I decided to make the chicken cordon bleu style, which DH and I both love, and wrap it in pastry like a beef wellington. While it looks and sounds elegant, it is really easy to make and my family loves it. Serve with a green salad and a bottle of chardonnay.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine cold water (enough to cover the chicken breasts) and 2 tablespoons salt. Place the divided chicken pieces in the salted water (brine) and let stand for approximately 45 minutes. Remove the chicken pieces from the brine and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Slice each breast on the bias into 4 thin slices. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Pan sear the chicken about 1 minute on each side until golden. Remove from heat.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium skillet on medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and saute until crispy. Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Cut a small hole in the middle of each raw potato slice for the rosemary "pick." Pour at least 2 inches of oil in a medium pot and heat until the oil begins to smoke. Carefully place the potato slices in the oil 2 or 3 at a time. Turn potatoes occasionally so they brown evenly. Remove the potatoes when they are tender/crisp and allow the excess oil to drain on a paper towel. Season, to taste, with salt.
- Pour 2 cups of chicken stock into a medium pot. Add the chicken carcass, shiitake mushroom stems, marjoram and sage. Let simmer until reduced by 1/2. Strain the reduced stock with cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan and place on low heat. Add the gelatin from the pate to the pan and stir until it dissolves. Gently stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. Do not boil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Place a crispy potato slice on each plate. Top each potato with 1 slice of chicken. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of duxelle onto the chicken. Using a sharp knife, slice a thin piece of pate and place on top of the duxelles. Place a second potato slice on top of the duxelle and repeat the process for each plate. Top each stack with the third slice of potato. Secure the stack with a "pick" of rosemary (take a 4-inch piece of rosemary and gently remove the bottom 2 to 3 inches of leaves, leaving 1 to 2 inches of rosemary leaves on each pick).
- Cook the shallots in butter in a medium sized pan, on low heat. Add the chopped mushroom to the shallots and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms render liquid. Remove from the pan and puree the mixture in a food processor.
- Return the pureed mushroom mixture to the pan. Add heavy cream. Reduce the cream until the mixture is pasty.
- Remove from heat and add parsley and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
TWISTED CHICKEN WELLINGTON
This recipe is based off of http://www.recipezaar.com/Chicken-Wellington-Puff-Pastry-Wrapped-Chicken-149540 but as I and my family have a severe aversion to mushrooms, I edited it a bit. I also ran out of patience and decided to tear up my chicken and just mix everything to gether about half way through and have found that not only is it much easier but also IMHO better. Due to running out of puff pastry I have aso found that this recipe is very good stuffed into egg roll wrappers. Cooking and Prep time is a rough estimate.

CHICKEN WELLINGTON
Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork. 2. Season the chicken with the thyme and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until well browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. 3. Heat the remaining butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until they're tender and the liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally. Stir in the parsley. 4. Stir the cream cheese and mustard in a small bowl. 5. Sprinkle the work surface with the flour. Unfold the pastry on the work surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 14-inch square. Cut into 4 (7-inch) squares. 6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon mushroom mixture on each square. Top with the chicken. Spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture on the chicken. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg mixture. Fold the corners of the pastries up over the chicken and press to seal. Place the pastries seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush with the egg mixture. 7. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, organic chicken and high-quality puff pastry for the best results.
- Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the chicken and make the dish more flavorful.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure that the chicken is cooked through before assembling the Wellington. This will help to prevent the dish from becoming undercooked and potentially unsafe to eat.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken can be dry and tough. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before assembling the Wellington.
- Chill the Wellington before baking: Chilling the Wellington before baking will help to keep the pastry from becoming too puffy and help the flavors to meld together.
- Bake the Wellington at a high temperature: Baking the Wellington at a high temperature will help to create a golden brown crust and prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Let the Wellington rest before serving: Let the Wellington rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and prevent the Wellington from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Chicken Wellington is a classic dish that is perfect for special occasions. With its combination of tender chicken, savory duxelles, and flaky puff pastry, Chicken Wellington is sure to impress your guests.
