Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, tarragon, garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be the filling for the chicken.

Step 4

Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure it can fully encase a chicken breast. Repeat with the second sheet.

Step 5

Once the chicken has cooled slightly, make a small slit along the side of each breast to create a pocket. Stuff each pocket with about 1 ½–2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture.

Step 6

Place one stuffed chicken breast on a prepared puff pastry sheet. Wrap the puff pastry around the chicken, sealing the edges by pinching them together. Repeat for all chicken breasts.

Step 7

Place the wrapped chicken bundles on the greased baking sheet, seam side down. Brush each with beaten egg to ensure a golden, shiny crust.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the bundles cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional tarragon if desired.
