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.

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

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
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.

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).

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
