Chicken Wellington
Juicy chicken breast wrapped in golden puff pastry over a savory mushroom duxelles, with an optional layer of prosciutto for a classic European centerpiece. 670 calories with 36g of protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken breast (1 whole breast, about 6 oz)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup mushrooms (cremini), finely chopped
- 1 slice prosciutto (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tsp all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes per side, just to brown. Brush with Dijon and let cool.
- Melt butter in a skillet and sauté shallot and garlic for 1 minute.
- Add chopped mushrooms and thyme and cook 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until all moisture evaporates and the mixture is a dry paste (duxelles). Let cool.
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Lay prosciutto (if using) down the center, then spread the duxelles over it.
- Place the chicken on top and wrap the pastry around it, sealing the seams and tucking the ends. Transfer seam-side down to the baking sheet.
- Brush the pastry all over with beaten egg wash and cut 2 small slits to vent steam.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden and the chicken reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips
