Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook until evenly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet in half. Place 1 sliced chicken breast on each half; top with 1/4 of the bacon and 1 Brie cheese slice. Fold top and bottom of pastry over chicken. Press pastry seams together with your fingers to seal; place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
- Cook in the preheated oven until pastry is golden brown and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425.
- In bowl, stir broccoli and cheese to combine and set aside.
- On lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet to a 14x12-inch rectangle; cut each sheet into 4 7x6-inch rectangles.
- Season both sides of chicken with salt, then spread 1/4 cup broccoli mixture over pastry, place chicken on top, then sprinkle with with 2 teaspoon bread crumbs.
- Brush egg mixture onto edges of rectangle and fold pastry over chicken; press edges to seal.
- Place seam-side down on ungreased shallow baking pan, and repeat with each chicken breast.
- With remaining pastry, using a small cookie cutter, cut out decorative shapes.
- Brush egg mixture over pastry packets, place decorations on top of packets and brush with additional egg mixture.

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!
TWISTED CHICKEN WELLINGTON
This recipe is based off of http://www.recipezaar.com/Chicken-Wellington-Puff-Pastry-Wrapped-Chicken-149540 but as I and my family have a severe aversion to mushrooms, I edited it a bit. I also ran out of patience and decided to tear up my chicken and just mix everything to gether about half way through and have found that not only is it much easier but also IMHO better. Due to running out of puff pastry I have aso found that this recipe is very good stuffed into egg roll wrappers. Cooking and Prep time is a rough estimate.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so be sure to use the best you can afford.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 165 degrees Fahrenheit internal temperature.
- Use a good quality puff pastry: The puff pastry is what gives chicken Wellington its signature flaky crust. Be sure to use a puff pastry that is made with butter, not margarine.
- Chill the puff pastry before baking: Chilling the puff pastry before baking will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Egg wash the puff pastry before baking: Egg washing the puff pastry will give it a golden brown crust.
- Serve chicken Wellington immediately: Chicken Wellington is best served hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Chicken Wellington is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It may seem like a difficult dish to make, but it is actually quite simple to prepare. With a little planning and effort, you can create a stunning dish that will wow your guests.
