    Equipment

    • Nonstick Skillet
    • Oxo Sieve
    • Glass Mixing Bowls
    • Rolling Pin
    • Rimmed Sheet Pan

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 bag (10-ounce) baby spinach
    • 3 cloves garlic - minced
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste
    • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves - approximately 1 pound, cooked, cooled and diced
    • 1 can (15-ounce) artichoke hearts - drained, squeezed of excess moisture and chopped
    • 1 container (6.5-ounce) herb and garlic cheese spread - such as Boursin
    • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
    • 1 large egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water
    • 2 packages (each 17.3-ounce) puff pastry sheets such as Pepperidge Farm - or 4 sheets

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thaw puff pastry per package directions.
    • Heat oil in a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the baby spinach and cook, 3-4 minutes or until wilted. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds more or until fragrant. Transfer baby spinach to a sieve or colander to drain. Gently press on the spinach with a wooden spoon to extract any excess moisture.
    • Combine spinach, chicken, artichoke hearts, herb and garlic cheese spread, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise and chives in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
    • Combine egg and water to form an egg wash. Set aside.
    • Roll out and cut each sheet into four even squares. Place even amounts of the chicken filling in the center of each puff pastry square. Dab a small amount of egg wash on each corner of the puff pastry. Pull the corners up and over the filling to form a square parcel. Dab each parcel with egg wash.
    • Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden. If the pastry pulls away from the filling, gently press it back down with a spoon or spatula. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    Prep time does not include cooking the chicken.

      Can you make these vegetarian, leaving out the chicken?

        Hi, Myrna, Thanks so much for your question. Yes, you absolutely could do that, I would increase the artichokes to make up for the chicken. Thanks again and hope you enjoy!

      I am making these for my Book Club. Can I make them the day before and then bake them just before serving?

        Hi, Donna, Thanks so much for your question. Can you get the filling together and then place them in the puff pastry before your Book Club? I think you'd get the best result but I think you'd be okay. I haven't tested how long they can sit before baking. I have assembled things like Beef Wellington in puff pastry without baking and left it for clients and it turned out well for them. Thanks so much and hope everyone enjoys!

      Do the two packages of puff pastry make 16 ?
      How many can I serve with 16? I am having 5 for dinner Friday

        Hi, Ann, Thanks so much for your question! If you use Pepperidge Farm, you'll get eight parcels as each sheet gets cut into four pieces so yes, two boxes will make 16. It will depend upon how you serve the parcels. As a starter, I'd do two per person. Thanks again and hope they all enjoy!
