Time 32m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaf
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 egg, well-beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 430 degrees F.
  • Combine cheese, basil, garlic, salt and pepper in processor until smooth and basil is finely chopped.
  • Unfold both pieces of pastry carefully.
  • Roll out on lightly-floured surface to 14 x 10 inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Cut in half crosswise into 7 x 10 inch rectangle; repeat with second sheet of pastry.
  • Spread ΒΌ of cheese mixture lengthwise, in approximate size of chicken breast, across center of each rectangle.
  • Place chicken breast over, skinned side down.
  • Lift long sides of pastry to meet in center over top of chicken; pinch overlap and short ends to enclose chicken snuggly.
  • Trim away excess pastry leaving pinched overlap.
  • Arrange seam side down, 2 inches apart, on a greased baking sheet; brush generously with beaten egg.
  • Bake until puffed and golden and chicken is cooked through, 18-22 minutes.
  • Note: Using Boursin Cheese in this recipe in place of the cream cheese is very nice, too.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken cooks in the puff pastry, so there's no need to cook it separately.
