Steps:
- Pound each chicken breast to 1/2 inch thickness. Marinate the chicken in the olive oil, rosemary and garlic for 20- 60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (or the recommended baking temperature for the dough). Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté chicken in 1 tablespoon olive oil until lightly browned on both sides or just cooked through.
- Drain chicken on paper towels and allow to rest.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Allow puff pastry to thaw at room temperature as directed on package.
- Over medium-high heat combine the water, sugar and raspberries.
- Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered until desired consistency.
- Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a non-stick baking sheet.
- Place one piece of chicken in the center.
- Cover the chicken with 1/2 the brie and the desired amount of raspberries.
- Top with walnuts.
- Fold the pastry over the chicken.
- Wet fingers in cool water if pastry is dry or will not hold position.
- Bake at recommended puff pastry baking time (400°F) until pastry is golden brown.
- This takes approximately 35 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the brie and the raspberries. Fresh, ripe ingredients will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish.
- Make sure the puff pastry is cold before you start working with it. This will help it stay flaky and prevent it from becoming tough.
- If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to brush the egg wash onto the puff pastry.
- Be careful not to overcook the raspberry brie en croute. The brie should be melted and gooey, but not runny.
- Serve the raspberry brie en croute warm, with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of crème fraîche.
