CREAMY CHICKEN AND GARLIC PICNIC PASTIES-PARCELS WITH BOURSIN



Creamy Chicken and Garlic Picnic Pasties-Parcels With Boursin image

Delectable litle pasties or pastry parcels filled with tender chunks of chicken breast and French Boursin cream Cheese, delicious! These are so easy to make, as they use cooked chicken breast, making them very handy for any leftovers you might have. France meets England in these pastry parcels, I have taken the idea of a traditional pasty, then added a little French touch with the Boursin cheese, thus dispensing with any need to make a white sauce to bind the chicken! Great for lunch boxes, picnics, lunch, supper or a light meals or snacks.NB: (I would not advise re-heating these, as the chicken has already been cooked twice before - they are just as delicious warm or cold.)

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 1/4 ounces boursin cheese
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 -2 garlic clove
1 onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 chicken breasts (I cubed mine)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Saute onion with a Tablespoon of olive oil in skillet and cook until translucent.
  • add 1-2 more tablespoons of olive oil and add chicken breasts.
  • Cook chicken in skillet until juices run clear, or it is pretty well cooked through.
  • After chicken is browned on both sides add the can of broth and the white wine.
  • Add the pepper and garlic to the chicken and broth.
  • Bring entire skillet to a boil and add the Boursin Cheese.
  • Break up the cheese into smaller peices and reduce to a simmer.
  • Simmer about 15 mintutes until cheese is melted and creamy.
  • Add the Parmesan and serve over rice or pasta!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, free-range chicken, wild garlic, and creamy Boursin cheese will make a world of difference to the flavor of your pasties.
  • Don't overwork the pastry. Overworking the pastry will make it tough and chewy. Mix the ingredients together until they just come together, then wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Don't overcrowd the pasties. When you're filling the pasties, make sure to leave enough space for the filling to expand during cooking. If you overcrowd the pasties, they will be difficult to seal and the filling will be too dense.
  • Seal the pasties well. To prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking, make sure to seal the pasties well. You can do this by crimping the edges of the pastry together with a fork or by using a pastry crimper.
  • Cook the pasties until they are golden brown. The pasties should be cooked until they are golden brown and the filling is piping hot. This will take about 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven.
