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

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

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

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.

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