CHICKEN WELLINGTON RECIPE BY TASTY



Chicken Wellington Recipe by Tasty image

"Fancy" doesn't have to mean "expensive." This elegant chicken Wellington can be made with pantry ingredients so you can save money without skimping on flavor! In this recipe, we use chicken breast instead of the traditional beef tenderloin, wrapped in puff pastry, sautéed mushrooms, and dried herbs and spices to recreate that classic Wellington flavor. You'll even learn how to make your own easy pan gravy from scratch.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h55m

Yield 2 serving

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 oz cremini mushroom, stemmed and wiped clean
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 boneless chicken breast, large
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
4 slices prosciutto
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried parsley

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!

TWISTED CHICKEN WELLINGTON



Twisted Chicken Wellington image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
1 (5 1/4 ounce) package boursin cheese (garlic-herb spreadable cheese)
1 (17 1/4 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (2 lbs. total)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg, slightly beaten with
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425.
  • In bowl, stir broccoli and cheese to combine and set aside.
  • On lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet to a 14x12-inch rectangle; cut each sheet into 4 7x6-inch rectangles.
  • Season both sides of chicken with salt, then spread 1/4 cup broccoli mixture over pastry, place chicken on top, then sprinkle with with 2 teaspoon bread crumbs.
  • Brush egg mixture onto edges of rectangle and fold pastry over chicken; press edges to seal.
  • Place seam-side down on ungreased shallow baking pan, and repeat with each chicken breast.
  • With remaining pastry, using a small cookie cutter, cut out decorative shapes.
  • Brush egg mixture over pastry packets, place decorations on top of packets and brush with additional egg mixture.
  • Bake at 425 for 25 minutes or until pastry is golden and chicken is cooked through.
  • TIPS: You can assemble up to one day ahead, although the pastry crust will be slightly soggy on the bottom (it will still look and taste good); I found that using slightly smaller chicken pieces allowed for easier assembly.

  • Let the chicken cool before wrapping it in puff pastry: This will help to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
  • Brush the pastry with egg wash before baking: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
