CHICKEN WELLINGTON



Chicken Wellington image

A variation of the classic beef Wellington, this stunning entrée stars boneless chicken breasts topped with a mushroom-onion mix and wrapped in tender puff pastry.

Time 1h55m

Yield Serves: 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 1/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves(4 breast halves)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/7 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/4 ounces sliced mushrooms, (about 3/4 cup)
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/3 of an 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard or all-purpose flour
1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets(1 sheet), thawed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
  • Season the chicken with the thyme and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until well browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until they're tender and the liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally. Stir in the parsley.
  • Stir the cream cheese and mustard in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle the work surface with the flour. Unfold the pastry on the work surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 14-inch square. Cut into 4 (7-inch) squares.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon mushroom mixture on each square. Top with the chicken. Spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture on the chicken. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg mixture. Fold the corners of the pastries up over the chicken and press to seal. Place the pastries seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush with the egg mixture.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
  • Ingredient Note: We develop our recipes using a 4-to 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast half per serving. However, there are a range of sizes available in-store, from the butcher counter to the meat case and the freezer section. Use whichever you prefer- just follow the recipe as written above for the best result. If you're using larger chicken breasts they may require a little longer cooking time.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg, slightly beaten with
1 tablespoon water

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!

Tips:

  • For a crispy, golden-brown crust, brush the pastry with an egg wash before baking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken and ham into thin slices. This will help ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still juicy. An instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Let the Wellington rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the dish.
  • Serve the Wellington with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Florida Chicken Wellington is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its combination of tender chicken, flavorful ham, and flaky pastry, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give Florida Chicken Wellington a try. You won't be disappointed!
