Puff Pastry Chicken

I found this recipe through a message board I frequent. It was very tasty. Jason and Tristen liked it, but Colby didn't seem to care for it.





Here is the recipe:

4 boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 pkg frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg
6 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp each salt, garlic powder and onion powder (I actually used a herb blend rub that I just mixed in w/the cream cheese.)

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt butter and oil in skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned. Remove chicken. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes.

Mix cream cheese with spices. I did this by putting the cream cheese in a bowl and just mashing it all together with the back of a spoon. It helps if the cream cheese is room temperature.

Unfold the pastry and roll into a 14” square. Cut into 4 squares. Spread about 2 tbsp of the cheese spread in center of each square. Brush edges of squares with egg. Fold each corner to center on top of chicken and seal edges. Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush with egg.

Bake 25 minutes @ 400 degrees or until golden.
