How to Make Puff Pastry Chicken Bundles
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 15x10-inch baking pan.
- Butterfly each chicken breast: Using a sharp knife, cut a lengthwise slit in each chicken breast, stopping about 1/2-inch from the opposite side.
- Open each breast to lie flat.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Using a meat mallet, pound each chicken breast to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Remove plastic wrap.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a boil.
- Add 10 ounces fresh spinach.
- Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted. Drain well.
- Place 5 spinach leaves on each flattened chicken breast.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese down the center of each chicken breast.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts.
- Roll up each chicken breast tightly, tucking in the ends.
- Unroll one sheet (14.1 ounces) of puff pastry. Cut into 8 equal portions.
- Roll each puff pastry portion into an 8x7-inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon cold water.
- Brush the edges of each puff pastry rectangle with the egg wash.
- Place a chicken bundle at one short end of each puff pastry rectangle.
- Roll up tightly, tucking in the ends to seal.
- Place the bundles seam-down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
