Chicken Breasts baked with Goat Cheese in Puff Pastry
• Unfold
both pieces of pastry and roll one sheet out into a rectangle about
1/8 inch thick. Cut in half; repeat with the second sheet. You will
have four rectangles, each approximately 7 x 10 inches. Spread one
quarter of the cheese in the middle of each pastry sheet. Place a ham
slice on each. Generously sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper
(and other seasonings, as desired) then place chicken breasts on top
of the cheese and ham. Depending upon the size and shape of the chicken
breasts, you may have to trim away some of the pastry. Press and flute
the long ends, enclosing the chicken in a tight envelope. Brush with
beaten egg. Place envelopes seam side down on a lightly greased baking
sheet. Oven bake at 425° until pastry is browned or about 25 minutes.
Serve immediately. |
