Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
- 2 tbsp clarified butter
- 1 cup finely chopped cremini mushrooms
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the clarified butter and sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the cremini mushrooms, shallots, and thyme, sautéing until the mushrooms release their moisture and the mixture is dry, about 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the skillet with dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until the liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes. Let the mushroom duxelles cool slightly.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch square. Cut into two equal rectangles.
- Spread half of the mushroom duxelles on each pastry rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border. Place a chicken breast on top of each.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg, then fold over the chicken, sealing the edges tightly. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges with a fork.
- Transfer the Wellingtons to the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg, and cut a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Just imagine slicing into that crispy pastry to reveal the tender, herb-infused chicken and earthy mushroom duxelles. Serve it atop a bed of roasted vegetables for a meal that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious.
