Puff Pastry Chicken Parcels
  1. 1

    Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until golden and nearly cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  2. 2

    Add the onion, mushrooms, and garlic to the same skillet; cook and stir until the mushrooms release their moisture and the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a floured work surface into a 14-inch square. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares. Place a chicken breast in the center of each square.

  5. 5

    Mix the cream cheese and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread some of the cream cheese mixture over each chicken breast. Top each with 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture. Brush the edges of each square with water and wrap them around the chicken. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and slice in half before serving.
