Updating classic beef Wellington, we created this lighter, easier-to-prepare rendition using chicken. A glass of lush, full-flavored cabernet sauvignon makes a splendid accompaniment.

Categories     Chicken     Mushroom     Wellington

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package frozen puff pastry sheets
1 can unsalted beef-flavored broth
c. red wine, preferably cabernet sauvignon
1/2 oz. dried porcini mushrooms
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1 tsp. chopped fresh (or 1/2 teaspoon dried) rosemary leaves
3 c. fresh spinach
1/2 tsp. salt
2 portabella mushrooms
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
1 c. mixed baby vegetables (optional)
2 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)

Steps:

  • Thaw pastry 25 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare sauce and filling: In 1-quart saucepan, heat beef-flavored broth, wine, and porcini mushrooms to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer mixture until reduced to about 2/3 cup. Strain broth mixture into small bowl and reserve porcini mushrooms. Stir 1 tablespoon butter into strained broth mixture and set sauce aside. Finely chop porcini mushrooms and set aside.
  • In large skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 5 minutes. Stir in rosemary and cook 1 minute. Add spinach and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover tightly and cook 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat, add reserved chopped porcini mushrooms, and set aside.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. On lightly floured surface, unfold one puff pastry sheet (1/2 package) to a 9-inch square. With rolling pin, roll out pastry to a 12- by 10-inch rectangle, smoothing any creases. Cut pastry into 3 pieces: a 12- by 3-inch strip, a 7-inch square, and a 7- by 5-inch rectangle. Repeat rolling and cutting with remaining puff pastry sheet.
  • On both 7- by 5-inch pastry rectangles, place a portabella mushroom upside down. Top each mushroom with chicken breast half and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; top with spinach mixture. Brush some egg mixture on pastry around mushroom; cover each chicken-and-vegetable filling with 7-inch pastry square. Press gently around filling to seal top pastry to bottom pastry. Trim edges to make round. With spatula, transfer each filled pastry round to greased baking sheet.
  • Garnish tops of rounds: From remaining 12- by 3-inch pastry strips, cut eight 6-inch-long by 1/4-inch-wide strips and twenty-eight 1/2-inch diamonds. Brush top of each round with egg mixture; top with pastry strips and diamonds arranged in alternating rows. Brush lightly with egg mixture and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, reheat sauce and divide between 2 serving plates. Place each filled pastry in sauce and cut in half to reveal filling. If desired, serve with baby vegetables and garnish with rosemary sprigs.Nutritional information is based on 1 serving without baby vegetables.

CHICKEN WELLINGTON RECIPE BY TASTY



Chicken Wellington Recipe by Tasty image

"Fancy" doesn't have to mean "expensive." This elegant chicken Wellington can be made with pantry ingredients so you can save money without skimping on flavor! In this recipe, we use chicken breast instead of the traditional beef tenderloin, wrapped in puff pastry, sautéed mushrooms, and dried herbs and spices to recreate that classic Wellington flavor. You'll even learn how to make your own easy pan gravy from scratch.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h55m

Yield 2 serving

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 oz cremini mushroom, stemmed and wiped clean
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 boneless chicken breast, large
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
4 slices prosciutto
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried parsley

Steps:

  • Add the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 18-20 pulses.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and stir to fully combine. Cook, stirring often, until all of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl to cool. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
  • Season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Tie the chicken breast with 4 pieces of butcher's twine to create an even cylindrical shape.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast and cook until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken breast to a plate and set the pan aside to make the pan gravy later.
  • Remove the butcher's twine using a pair of scissors and brush the chicken all over with the Dijon mustard. Allow the chicken breast to cool to room temperature.
  • On 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap, lay out the puff pastry sheet. Arrange overlapping strips of prosciutto over the dough in an even square, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the prosciutto.
  • Place the chicken breast at the bottom of the mushroom mixture and tightly and evenly wrap with the prosciutto and puff pastry, using the plastic wrap to help wrap it tightly and seal the ends. Wrap in the plastic, tying the ends together to help keep the Wellington's shape. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the Wellington from the plastic wrap and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a paring knife, make a crosshatch pattern on top of the pastry, making sure not to cut all the way through. Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the Wellington rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1-1½-inch-thick slices.
  • While the Wellington rests, make the pan gravy: In the pan with the leftover chicken juices, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, and parsley and transfer to a bowl or gravy boat to serve.
  • Serve the Wellington warm with the pan gravy and sides of your choice.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Bibi

Categories     Pasta and Noodles     Pasta by Shape Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds chicken tenders, patted dry
salt and ground black pepper to taste
24 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
3 cups chicken broth
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup heavy cream
2 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
2 tablespoons coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl or a deep platter.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Season tenders with salt and pepper, place in the hot oil, and cook until lightly brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until light brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add mushrooms and onion to the hot skillet and cook until onion is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and mustard, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Return chicken tenders to skillet and submerge them in the broth mixture. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and place on top of the cooked pasta.
  • Continue to cook the sauce until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in cream. Add spinach stir until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken and pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley.

CHICKEN WELLINGTON WITH MUSHROOM VELOUTE SAUCE



Chicken Wellington With Mushroom Veloute Sauce image

This recipe is a little more involved but well worth the effort, in my opinion. This is a nice dish to serve when entertaining because it looks impressive. I've included a separate recipe for the mushroom sauce, which tops the chicken wellington. I really hope you enjoy this special recipe! *The prep time does not include 2 hours of refrigeration* Note: You can make the mushroom sauce earlier in the day and reheat while cooking dinner. It just cuts down on the amount of things you have to do at dinner time. ;)

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 (8 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups white wine
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
6 sheets puff pastry sheets (I use the Pepperidge Farm brand, check to see how many sheets come in each box)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
10 1/2 ounces boursin cheese (this should equal to 2 packages)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
2 cups chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup mushroom, sliced
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Prep Chicken:.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine white wine, basil, oregano and mix well.
  • Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the wine mixture on top to marinate. Refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the chicken breasts every half hour to insure all areas are marinated.
  • Prepare the Mushroom Veloute Sauce:.
  • In a saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil.
  • In a saute pan, over medium heat, melt 2 Tablespoons butter and saute mushrooms and shallots until tender.
  • In another medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the other 2 Tablespoons of butter, slowly stir in flour to make a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn.
  • Slowly add (HOT) chicken stock and whisk until smooth. Bring this sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
  • Add mushrooms and shallots, salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes - then keep warm OR reheat while the chicken is cooking.
  • Chicken Wellington:.
  • Divide each Boursin into thirds (so you have 6 portions).
  • Remove chicken breasts from the marinade, reserving.
  • Put the marinade in a saute pan (over medium heat) until the sauce gets hot, then add the chicken breasts and poach for 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. *The timing really depends on how thick the breasts are. Just make sure that the chicken is mostly cooked through*.
  • Remove the chicken breasts and let cool for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut each puff pastry sheet in half. Using 6 halves, place each breast in the center and top with a portion of boursin cheese. Place each remaining puff pastry on top of eacj chicken breast, pinching the puff pastry to seal around the chicken. Cut any excess puff pastry off.
  • In a small bowl, make an egg wash by mixing the egg and water together, then brush the top of the Wellington with egg wash.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. (To get a golden brown color, you may need to broil for 1-2 minutes after baking.).
  • Remove from oven and place each Wellington in the center of the serving plate and top with Mushroom Veloute Sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
320g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp butter
100g chestnut or button mushrooms, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp thyme leaves
½ lemon, juiced
100g low-fat soft cheese
1 tsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard

Steps:

  • To make the filling, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until sizzling, then fry the mushrooms for 8 mins until soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic, thyme and lemon juice, turn the heat up to medium-high and cook for 1 min more until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Season, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Tip the mixture into a bowl with the soft cheese and mustard, then beat everything together with a wooden spoon. Put in the fridge while you prepare the chicken. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a day.
  • Lay the chicken breasts out on a board, open out slightly, then bash gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness. Season and set aside. Unravel the pastry sheet and cut out a 16cm rectangle and an 18cm one. Lay the smaller rectangle on a sheet of baking parchment and brush with a little of the beaten egg. Lay one of the chicken breasts on top, smooth-side down. Spoon over the mushroom mixture and top with the second breast, smooth-side up, so the thicker sides of the breasts are at opposite ends to each other. Brush the exposed pastry border and the top of the chicken with more of the beaten egg, then drape over the larger pastry rectangle and tuck it in so the chicken is snugly enclosed. Trim the excess pastry into an oval, leaving a 4cm border, then crimp the border with a fork to seal. Re-roll any trimmings and use them to decorate the wellington, if you like (see tip, below). Chill for at least 1 hr or up to 24 hrs.
  • Heat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 6½ with a baking tray inside. Brush the wellington all over with most of the remaining beaten egg. Carefully lift it on its baking parchment onto the hot baking tray and bake for 25 mins, then brush with the remaining beaten egg and season with sea salt. Bake for another 10-15 mins until light golden brown. Rest for 5 mins before carefully carving in half.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your Wellington will be. Look for high-quality beef tenderloin, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Season the beef well: Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the beef to the right temperature: The beef tenderloin should be cooked to medium-rare or medium. This will help to keep the meat tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the mushrooms and spinach: The mushrooms and spinach should be cooked until they are just tender. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry: The puff pastry is what holds the Wellington together. Make sure to use a good quality puff pastry that is made with real butter.
  • Chill the Wellington before baking: This will help to keep the puff pastry from becoming too puffy and will also help the Wellington to hold its shape.
  • Brush the Wellington with egg wash before baking: This will help to give the Wellington a golden brown crust.
  • Let the Wellington rest before slicing: This will help to keep the juices in the meat and prevent it from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

Beef Wellington is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It can be a little time-consuming to make, but it is definitely worth the effort. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a stunning and delicious Beef Wellington that will impress your guests.
