Debsie's Famous Stuffed Chicken

Debsie's Famous Stuffed Chicken

This is a fun and delicious recipe I put together at the last minute for some very hungry folks! One of my favorites, to be honest.  It’s hardly any work; the oven does the work for you, but it’s a very delicious and tasty way to serve chicken for a change. All the flavors together just work; flakey and crispy on the outside, moist and oozy on the inside.

Pairs well with fresh veggies or white rice. A glass of red wine compliments this dish very well!.

INGREDIENTS:

*4 chicken fillets
*4 frozen puff pastry sheets
*4 oz cream cheese (the firm kind)
*few rashes of bacon
*flat-leaf parsley
*handful of cilantro
*1 spring onion
*2 garlic cloves
*salt and pepper to taste

PROCEDURE:

Chop a spring onion and a small handful of flat-leaf parsley and cilantro. Gotta love the stuff. You can use any herb you like, though.



Add the spring onions, parsley, cilantro, crumbled up bacon and a good pinch of pepper to 4 oz firm cream cheese.

Mix all ingredients together. Adding a little garlic, chili pepper and/or grated cheese also tastes great! Just go wild! Think of fun and yummy combinations.

Make a fairly deep cut in each chicken fillet.

Spread 1/4 of the cream mixture inside the chicken.

My puff pastry sheets were fairly small, so I’ve used two for each chicken fillet. I kinda stuck them together, and flattened them with my dough pin.

Place the chicken on top of the puff pastry, with the cream cheese side down. Season the chicken with a generous amount of salt and pepper.

Just fold them until you end up with small packages.

Pop them in a preheated oven, and bake at 400F (200C) for 40 to 45 minutes.

Nom Nom Nom...

ENJOY!
