Poor Girl Chicken Wellington Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut a piece of parchment to fit a rimmed baking sheet. Place 1 sheet of puff pastry on the parchment, then top with the second sheet of puff pastry. Roll the 2 layers to one 17-by-13-inch rectangle.
• Combine the hot sauce and butter in a small bowl and brush both sides of the chicken cutlets with the sauce. Set aside.
• Brush the puff pastry with the remaining sauce, leaving a 1-inch border along one long side and the 2 short sides. Sprinkle the blue cheese over the sauce. Top with 4 of the mozzarella slices, shingling them if necessary to fit. Top with 3 of the cutlets. Repeat with the remaining 4 slices of mozzarella and 3 cutlets.
• Brush the 3 empty borders of puff pastry with the beaten egg. Fold over the long side without the egg wash, followed by the 2 short sides, then the other long side. Turn the Wellington over so it is seam-side down. Brush with the remaining egg and cut three 3-inch-long vents with a sharp knife on top.
• Transfer the Wellington and parchment to the baking sheet and bake until crisp and deep golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve with ranch dressing, carrot and celery sticks, and more hot sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Flatten chicken to an even thickness. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil and 1 tablespoon butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned. , Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine rosemary, sage, salt, pepper and remaining butter. Unroll crusts; cut each into a 9-in. square (discard scraps). Place a chicken breast half on each square; spread chicken with butter mixture. Fold crust over chicken. Trim off excess crust; pinch seams to seal. , Place on a greased baking sheet; brush with egg. Bake until a thermometer reads 170°, 18-20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving., Meanwhile, for sauce, dissolve bouillon in hot water. In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in bouillon and wine or broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Unroll 1 tube of crescent dough into 1 long rectangle; press perforations to seal., Spread half the mustard over dough; top with half the chicken mixture to within 1/4 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Place cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut slits in top. Repeat with remaining crescent dough, mustard and chicken mixture., Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine sour cream and pickle juice; serve with pastries., Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet until firm. Transfer to a freezer container; return to freezer. To use, bake pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a preheated 350° oven until golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Prepare sauce as directed.

Steps:

• Add the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 18-20 pulses.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and stir to fully combine. Cook, stirring often, until all of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl to cool. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
• Season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Tie the chicken breast with 4 pieces of butcher's twine to create an even cylindrical shape.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast and cook until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken breast to a plate and set the pan aside to make the pan gravy later.
• Remove the butcher's twine using a pair of scissors and brush the chicken all over with the Dijon mustard. Allow the chicken breast to cool to room temperature.
• On 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap, lay out the puff pastry sheet. Arrange overlapping strips of prosciutto over the dough in an even square, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the prosciutto.
• Place the chicken breast at the bottom of the mushroom mixture and tightly and evenly wrap with the prosciutto and puff pastry, using the plastic wrap to help wrap it tightly and seal the ends. Wrap in the plastic, tying the ends together to help keep the Wellington's shape. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove the Wellington from the plastic wrap and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a paring knife, make a crosshatch pattern on top of the pastry, making sure not to cut all the way through. Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg.
• Transfer the baking sheet to the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the Wellington rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1-1½-inch-thick slices.
• While the Wellington rests, make the pan gravy: In the pan with the leftover chicken juices, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, and parsley and transfer to a bowl or gravy boat to serve.
• Serve the Wellington warm with the pan gravy and sides of your choice.
• Enjoy!

• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• In a small bowl combine the softened cream cheese with mustard, then spread over EACH breast.
• Then top with about 2-3 tablespoons mushroom/onion mixture.
• Brush the edges of each pastry square with water.
• Wrap pastry around the chicken breast, pressing edges to seal tightly.
• Place seam-side down on greased baking sheets.
• Brush the tops with egg wash.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
• Serve with mushroom sauce over the Wellington or on the side of the plate.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook chicken in the hot oil until golden and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Place onion, mushrooms, and garlic in the same skillet; cook and stir until mushrooms lose their moisture and onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out each puff pastry sheet into a 14-inch square on a floured work surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares. Place a chicken breast in the center of each square.
• Combine cream cheese and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread some of the cream cheese mixture over each chicken breast. Top each with 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture. Brush the edges of each square with water and wrap around the chicken. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and slice in half before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
• 2. In a very large skillet over high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the squash in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 4 minutes. (If squash won't fit in a single layer, cook it in batches). Stir and continue to cook until squash is golden, 7 to 10 minutes more. Stir in the syrup, thyme, paprika and ¼ teaspoon salt; cook one minute. Scrape mixture into a bowl.
• 3. Turn the heat down to medium and melt the remaining butter in the skillet. Stir in garlic and shallot; cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and remaining salt. Cook until mushrooms are soft and their juices evaporate, about 10 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook until the mixture is dry, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pepper and parsley. Taste and add more salt if needed.
• 4. On a lightly floured surface, unwrap the puff pastry. Cut into 2 5-by-15-inch rectangles. Spread mushrooms on each pastry rectangle leaving ¼-inch border. Spoon the cheese crumbles over the mushrooms. Then spoon the squash over the cheese, leaving a 1 ½-inch border (it will look like a stripe of squash lying on a bed of cheese and mushrooms).
• 5. Brush the exposed borders of dough on each rectangle with the egg wash. Fold the long sides up to meet in the middle and pinch together to seal; pinch the ends, too. Transfer the pastries to the baking sheet and turn them over so that the seam is face down. Brush the tops with more egg wash. Bake until they are puffed golden and firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, slice and serve.

Steps:

• Using a stock pot I heat up the wine, shallots, garlic, butter, and bouillon on medium temperature.
• When wine has reduced somewhat and garlic is fragrant add chicken (I usually cube my chicken pieces). Cook on med high temperature.
• When chicken has cooked in the fragrant wine broth, add mushrooms.
• Continue to cook for about 3 minutes and then add remaining ingredients (except the pastry sheets) and stir.
• (Sometimes I will add heavy cream to this as well, but it's your preference).
• Cook for another 5 minutes and watch as it reduces.
• Using a loaf pan (sprayed with PAM) I layer pastry sheets between the chicken/mushroom sauce (about 6-7 high).
• On final layer of pastry I brush a little egg wash on for shine.
• Then bake at 350°F until the pastry is flaky/puffed/golden brown.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Shape into two loaves, about 9-inches x 3-inches.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet into an 18-inch x 16-inch rectangle.
• Invert meat loaves and place in center of each pastry; fold short sides of pastry over loaf. Fold long sides over loaf and.
• pastry seal seams.
• Place, seam side down, on a rack in a 15-inch x 10-inch x 1-inch baking pan.
• Beat remaining egg; brush over pastry.
• Bake at 350°F for 60 to 70 minutes.

• Serve the mushrooms and sauce over meat loaf slices.

Steps:

• To make the filling, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until sizzling, then fry the mushrooms for 8 mins until soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic, thyme and lemon juice, turn the heat up to medium-high and cook for 1 min more until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Season, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Tip the mixture into a bowl with the soft cheese and mustard, then beat everything together with a wooden spoon. Put in the fridge while you prepare the chicken. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a day.
• Lay the chicken breasts out on a board, open out slightly, then bash gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness. Season and set aside. Unravel the pastry sheet and cut out a 16cm rectangle and an 18cm one. Lay the smaller rectangle on a sheet of baking parchment and brush with a little of the beaten egg. Lay one of the chicken breasts on top, smooth-side down. Spoon over the mushroom mixture and top with the second breast, smooth-side up, so the thicker sides of the breasts are at opposite ends to each other. Brush the exposed pastry border and the top of the chicken with more of the beaten egg, then drape over the larger pastry rectangle and tuck it in so the chicken is snugly enclosed. Trim the excess pastry into an oval, leaving a 4cm border, then crimp the border with a fork to seal. Re-roll any trimmings and use them to decorate the wellington, if you like (see tip, below). Chill for at least 1 hr or up to 24 hrs.
• Heat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 6½ with a baking tray inside. Brush the wellington all over with most of the remaining beaten egg. Carefully lift it on its baking parchment onto the hot baking tray and bake for 25 mins, then brush with the remaining beaten egg and season with sea salt. Bake for another 10-15 mins until light golden brown. Rest for 5 mins before carefully carving in half.

Steps:

• Saute onions in butter. Add cream cheese, stir in parsley, almonds, milk, salt & pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• Seperate dough into 4 squares. Spoon about 1/2 cup mixture into center, bring up corners & pinch.
• Put on greased cookie sheet bake @ 350 for 30 minute
• For Sauce: Combine all ingredients, heat to bubbly and serve over top.
