What You'll Need:
4 chicken fillets
4 frozen puff pastry sheets (I actually used Filo Dough (sp?) and it was delicious!)
4 oz cream cheese (the firm kind)
few rashes of bacon
flat -leaf parsley
1 spring onion
1 large egg
pepper
salt
Let's Get Crackin!
Cook up the bacon (use as much or as little as you like) and chop/crumble it up. Chop up the spring onions, parsley, and a good pinch of pepper to 4 oz firm cream cheese. You can use a low-fat cream cheese if you like! It will still be very flavorful. Also, if you want, adding a little garlic, chili pepper, and/or grated cheese helps kick up the flavor! However, the one I tried was just the basic onion, parsley, pepper, bacon, and cream cheese. But feel free to experiment! Mix everything in a bowl and set aside. Now let's turn our attention to the chicken. Trim the fat from the chicken then make a deep cut into each chicken fillet. Stuff the cream cheese mixture into the chicken. Take the puff pastry sheets/Filo dough out of the box and make SURE they do not dry out. They are very delicate and will dry out quickly, so get a damp cloth and place it on top of your pastry sheets until you are going to wrap them around the chicken. I used like three or four to wrap around each breast. Place the chicken on top of the puff pastry, with the cream cheese side down. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat a large egg and brush some onto the puff pastry. Fold the pastry sheets around the chicken. The egg will act as a type of glue to hold it all together. Brush the egg mixture on the top of the chicken/pastry package. Throw them into a preheated oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. Enjoy!!
