Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 150 grams Brie cheese
- 12 pieces Asparagus spears
- 4 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Do not cook through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
Cut the brie cheese into 4 equal pieces, and set aside.
Step 5
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer them to ice water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly to ensure they are big enough to enclose the filling. Cut each sheet into a square.
Step 7
Place a seared chicken breast in the center of each puff pastry square. Top with 3 asparagus spears and a piece of brie cheese.
Step 8
Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the filling, pinching and sealing the edges to form a parcel. Ensure there are no gaps.
Step 9
Place the parcels seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 10
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of each parcel with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let the parcels rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 13
Serve warm with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
