An Elegant Entrée

This Puff Pastry Boursin Chicken is an old favorite recipe. My husband and I have been serving this our whole married life. It is very elegant and we put the guests’ initials on top of the puff pastry, which serves as place cards. You can also cut out cookie cutter shapes.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

4 medium chicken breast halves, boneless skinless

1 package Boursin cheese

1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed

1 large egg

1 Tablespoon water

Directions

1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

2Cut Boursin cheese into 4 equal parts. Spread cheese onto the chicken.

3Roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut each sheet in half. Wrap each breast with the puff pastry and pinch the edges shut. (You may need to trim the excess pastry.) Put a few slits in the pastry to allow air to escape.

4Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush mixture over chicken bundles.

5Cut designs from reserved pastry sheet, and dip cutouts in egg mixture, and arrange in a decorative pattern over chicken bundles. Cover and chill up to 24 hours, or bake immediately.

6Prepare a casserole dish with cooking spray. Place the wrapped chicken breasts in the dish and brush with olive oil so they brown well. Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
