Today, we’re excited to share a delectable Chicken & Mushroom Puff Pastry recipe that will elevate your culinary skills to new heights. This delightful recipe is brought to you by UMAMIMAMI, where creativity meets flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 200g mushrooms (your choice of variety)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Filling
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them until they’re golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, and sauté the onions and garlic until they become translucent.
- Slice the mushrooms and add them to the skillet, cooking until they release their moisture and turn brown.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer the mixture for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Step 2: Assembling the Puff Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut it into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
- Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and mushroom mixture onto one half of each pastry square.
- Fold the pastry over the filling, creating a triangle or rectangle, and use a fork to crimp the edges to seal them.
- Beat an egg and brush it over the tops of the pastry for a golden finish.
Step 3: Baking
- Place the pastry pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they turn beautifully golden brown.
Step 4: Serving
- Once out of the oven, allow your Chicken & Mushroom Puff Pastries to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a burst of color and extra flavor.
