CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM WELLINGTON



Chicken and Mushroom Wellington image

Updating classic beef Wellington, we created this lighter, easier-to-prepare rendition using chicken. A glass of lush, full-flavored cabernet sauvignon makes a splendid accompaniment.

Categories     Chicken     Mushroom     Wellington

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package frozen puff pastry sheets
1 can unsalted beef-flavored broth
c. red wine, preferably cabernet sauvignon
1/2 oz. dried porcini mushrooms
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1 tsp. chopped fresh (or 1/2 teaspoon dried) rosemary leaves
3 c. fresh spinach
1/2 tsp. salt
2 portabella mushrooms
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
1 c. mixed baby vegetables (optional)
2 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)

Steps:

  • Thaw pastry 25 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare sauce and filling: In 1-quart saucepan, heat beef-flavored broth, wine, and porcini mushrooms to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer mixture until reduced to about 2/3 cup. Strain broth mixture into small bowl and reserve porcini mushrooms. Stir 1 tablespoon butter into strained broth mixture and set sauce aside. Finely chop porcini mushrooms and set aside.
  • In large skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 5 minutes. Stir in rosemary and cook 1 minute. Add spinach and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover tightly and cook 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat, add reserved chopped porcini mushrooms, and set aside.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. On lightly floured surface, unfold one puff pastry sheet (1/2 package) to a 9-inch square. With rolling pin, roll out pastry to a 12- by 10-inch rectangle, smoothing any creases. Cut pastry into 3 pieces: a 12- by 3-inch strip, a 7-inch square, and a 7- by 5-inch rectangle. Repeat rolling and cutting with remaining puff pastry sheet.
  • On both 7- by 5-inch pastry rectangles, place a portabella mushroom upside down. Top each mushroom with chicken breast half and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; top with spinach mixture. Brush some egg mixture on pastry around mushroom; cover each chicken-and-vegetable filling with 7-inch pastry square. Press gently around filling to seal top pastry to bottom pastry. Trim edges to make round. With spatula, transfer each filled pastry round to greased baking sheet.
  • Garnish tops of rounds: From remaining 12- by 3-inch pastry strips, cut eight 6-inch-long by 1/4-inch-wide strips and twenty-eight 1/2-inch diamonds. Brush top of each round with egg mixture; top with pastry strips and diamonds arranged in alternating rows. Brush lightly with egg mixture and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, reheat sauce and divide between 2 serving plates. Place each filled pastry in sauce and cut in half to reveal filling. If desired, serve with baby vegetables and garnish with rosemary sprigs.Nutritional information is based on 1 serving without baby vegetables.

CHICKEN WELLINGTON WITH MUSHROOM VELOUTE SAUCE



Chicken Wellington With Mushroom Veloute Sauce image

This recipe is a little more involved but well worth the effort, in my opinion. This is a nice dish to serve when entertaining because it looks impressive. I've included a separate recipe for the mushroom sauce, which tops the chicken wellington. I really hope you enjoy this special recipe! *The prep time does not include 2 hours of refrigeration* Note: You can make the mushroom sauce earlier in the day and reheat while cooking dinner. It just cuts down on the amount of things you have to do at dinner time. ;)

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 (8 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups white wine
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
6 sheets puff pastry sheets (I use the Pepperidge Farm brand, check to see how many sheets come in each box)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
10 1/2 ounces boursin cheese (this should equal to 2 packages)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
2 cups chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup mushroom, sliced
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Prep Chicken:.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine white wine, basil, oregano and mix well.
  • Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the wine mixture on top to marinate. Refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the chicken breasts every half hour to insure all areas are marinated.
  • Prepare the Mushroom Veloute Sauce:.
  • In a saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil.
  • In a saute pan, over medium heat, melt 2 Tablespoons butter and saute mushrooms and shallots until tender.
  • In another medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the other 2 Tablespoons of butter, slowly stir in flour to make a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn.
  • Slowly add (HOT) chicken stock and whisk until smooth. Bring this sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
  • Add mushrooms and shallots, salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes - then keep warm OR reheat while the chicken is cooking.
  • Chicken Wellington:.
  • Divide each Boursin into thirds (so you have 6 portions).
  • Remove chicken breasts from the marinade, reserving.
  • Put the marinade in a saute pan (over medium heat) until the sauce gets hot, then add the chicken breasts and poach for 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. *The timing really depends on how thick the breasts are. Just make sure that the chicken is mostly cooked through*.
  • Remove the chicken breasts and let cool for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut each puff pastry sheet in half. Using 6 halves, place each breast in the center and top with a portion of boursin cheese. Place each remaining puff pastry on top of eacj chicken breast, pinching the puff pastry to seal around the chicken. Cut any excess puff pastry off.
  • In a small bowl, make an egg wash by mixing the egg and water together, then brush the top of the Wellington with egg wash.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. (To get a golden brown color, you may need to broil for 1-2 minutes after baking.).
  • Remove from oven and place each Wellington in the center of the serving plate and top with Mushroom Veloute Sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM WELLINGTON



Chicken & mushroom wellington image

Make a celebration supper for two with this chicken and mushroom wellington. Cut into golden pastry to find a creamy, garlicky inside - perfection

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
320g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp butter
100g chestnut or button mushrooms, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp thyme leaves
½ lemon, juiced
100g low-fat soft cheese
1 tsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard

Steps:

  • To make the filling, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until sizzling, then fry the mushrooms for 8 mins until soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic, thyme and lemon juice, turn the heat up to medium-high and cook for 1 min more until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Season, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Tip the mixture into a bowl with the soft cheese and mustard, then beat everything together with a wooden spoon. Put in the fridge while you prepare the chicken. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a day.
  • Lay the chicken breasts out on a board, open out slightly, then bash gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness. Season and set aside. Unravel the pastry sheet and cut out a 16cm rectangle and an 18cm one. Lay the smaller rectangle on a sheet of baking parchment and brush with a little of the beaten egg. Lay one of the chicken breasts on top, smooth-side down. Spoon over the mushroom mixture and top with the second breast, smooth-side up, so the thicker sides of the breasts are at opposite ends to each other. Brush the exposed pastry border and the top of the chicken with more of the beaten egg, then drape over the larger pastry rectangle and tuck it in so the chicken is snugly enclosed. Trim the excess pastry into an oval, leaving a 4cm border, then crimp the border with a fork to seal. Re-roll any trimmings and use them to decorate the wellington, if you like (see tip, below). Chill for at least 1 hr or up to 24 hrs.
  • Heat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 6½ with a baking tray inside. Brush the wellington all over with most of the remaining beaten egg. Carefully lift it on its baking parchment onto the hot baking tray and bake for 25 mins, then brush with the remaining beaten egg and season with sea salt. Bake for another 10-15 mins until light golden brown. Rest for 5 mins before carefully carving in half.
