Stuffed Cream Cheese Chicken


Ingredients

4 chicken breast
4 frozen puff pastry sheets
4 oz cream cheese (the firm kind)
3 strips of bacon
flat-leaf parsley
1 green onion
1 large egg
pepper
salt
Directions
Start out by combining the cream cheese, cooked bacon, parsley, and green onion together in a bowl. Set aside. Cut the chicken breast down the middle and stuff the cream cheese mixture inside. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the chicken. 

Roll out the frozen pastry sheets, and then wrap the chicken in the pastry sheets. Brush the egg on the pastry and pop them into the oven at 400 for 35 to 40 min. Or just until the chicken has a temp of 170. 

Thats it, SUPER easy! Treagan LOVED these last night! I wasn't sure how dinner would turn out so I didn't take any pictures. Hence the super professional stolen pictures.

We even have an extra HUGE bedroom for you!
