Florida Chicken Wellington

Florida Chicken Wellington tucks seared, Creole-seasoned chicken under a melty layer of Brie with savory bacon, all bundled in flaky puff pastry and baked until golden. The contrast of crisp pastry, juicy chicken, and rich cheese makes it a standout for weeknight dinners or a casual dinner party. Expect a buttery crunch and gently spiced, smoky flavors in every bite.

Florida Chicken Wellington
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and grease a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook until evenly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate to cool.

  3. 3

    Cut each puff pastry sheet in half. Place 1 sliced chicken breast on each half; top with 1/4 of the bacon and 1 Brie cheese slice. Fold the top and bottom of the pastry over the chicken. Press the pastry seams together with your fingers to seal; place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
