Description
Golden Creamy Chicken Wellington is a delicious dish featuring flaky puff pastry wrapped around juicy herb chicken with a silky cream sauce center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Puff pastry sheets
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- Fresh herbs (parsley + thyme)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear in olive oil until lightly golden (not fully cooked). Let cool.
- In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, Dijon, and a splash of heavy cream until smooth.
- Roll out puff pastry and spread a layer of the herb cream mixture in the center. Place the seared chicken on top and spoon a little extra cream mixture over it.
- Fold pastry tightly around the chicken, sealing edges well. Place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
- Brush with egg wash for a glossy finish.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until deep golden brown and puffed. Rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Warm remaining cream with a little butter to create a light sauce and spoon over slices before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is not fully cooked when searing to prevent dryness.
- Feel free to customize the herbs based on your preference.
- Let the Wellington rest before slicing for cleaner cuts.
