Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (9 by 10-inch) sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut into 12 (3 by 5-inch) rectangles
4 (4-ounce) boneless and skinless chicken breast halves
Kosher salt
Olive oil, for drizzling
3 tablespoons reduced fat mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 large avocado, thinly sliced into 8 pieces
2 cups baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the pastry on the prepared baking sheets. Using the tines of a fork, prick the top of the pastry all over. Cover the pastry with parchment paper and place another baking sheet on top. Bake for 25 minutes until golden. Remove the top baking sheets and parchment paper. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat a grill pan or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the chicken with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Grill until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and cayenne pepper.
  • To assemble the Napoleons: Place 4 pieces pastry on a work surface. Slice each chicken breast diagonally into 6 (1/4-inch thick) slices. Place 3 chicken breast slices on each piece of pastry. Place 1/4 cup of spinach and 1 avocado slice on top. Spread 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture on the underside of another 4 pieces of pastry to create the middle layer of each Napoleon. Place on top. Repeat the layering. Each Napoleon should be completed with a piece of pastry as its top.
  • Arrange the Napoleons on a platter and serve.

I've made these napoleons several times now and they're always a hit. They're perfect for a summer party or potluck.

I'm not usually a fan of avocado, but I loved it in this recipe. The combination of flavors and textures was perfect.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a bit more mayonnaise or sour cream to the chicken mixture next time.

I added a bit of chopped bacon to the chicken mixture and it took these napoleons to the next level! Highly recommend.

These were so easy to make and they came out perfect! I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked great.

The avocado was a bit too ripe for my taste, but otherwise these were delicious! I'll definitely try them again with a firmer avocado.

These chicken and avocado napoleons were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of flavors and textures was amazing, and they were surprisingly easy to make. I'll definitely be making them again.
