Description
This delicious Chicken Wellington comes together in 30 minutes, with a creamy Dijon sauce that your family will love!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 package (14 oz) puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sauté your aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle in some olive oil and toss in the chopped mushrooms. Sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the spinach: Toss in the baby spinach and cook until it wilts down, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cool the mixture: Let the mixture cool slightly so it’s not too hot for handling.
- Prepare the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard on both sides.
- Roll out the puff pastry: On a floured surface, roll out the pastry sheets enough to wrap around the chicken.
- Assemble the Wellingtons: Place a spoonful of the cooled mixture on each pastry, top with chicken, and fold edges to seal.
- Brush with egg wash: Beat an egg with a splash of water and brush over the Wellingtons.
- Bake time: Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and chicken is cooked through.
- Make the sauce: Combine heavy cream and chicken broth in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stir in the mustard and herbs until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve it up: Let the Wellingtons rest a few minutes, slice, and drizzle with Dijon cream sauce.
