Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 2 cups Cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 medium Shallot, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, then sear each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper, cooking until the mixture becomes dry and all the moisture has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet and cut it in half, creating 4 rectangular pieces.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard in the center of each pastry piece. Place a chicken breast on top of the mustard layer, then top the chicken with a generous spoonful of the mushroom mixture, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Fold the edges of the pastry around the chicken to create a tight seal, pinching the seams together. Place the sealed side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream to create an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pastry parcels with the egg wash.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Let the Chicken Wellingtons rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
