Course: Chicken and Turkey
Cuisine: French / Italian
Servings: 16 parcels

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
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 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.
