Creamy Chicken And Bacon With Herbed Puff Pastry Recipes

NANCY'S CHICKEN IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and place in hot oil; cook for 5 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Remove skillet from heat.
• Roll out pastry shells as thinly as possible so that it is big enough to fit around a chicken breast. Spread 2 ounces of cream cheese on one chicken breast, place in the center of a pastry sheet; fold the pastry around the chicken, and pinch the pastry edges together very tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place the pastry-wrapped chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.

CREAMY CHICKEN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/ 392˚F
• Clean the leeks by putting in a colander and putting under a cold tap, moving them around with your hand to seperate the layers and get all the grit out.
• Tip them into a medium saucepan with the cold water, bring to a boil and boil gently for 5-7 minutes until just tender.
• Set a colander or sieve over a heatproof bowl and pour the leeks into it, so the leek stock goes into the bowl.
• Use 1 c/ 250ml for the sauce for the pie, and you can keep the rest in the fridge for a couple of days to add to soups/stews or freeze.
• To make the sauce, melt the butter over a medium heat and then add the flour and stir to combine.
• Add the milk a little at a time, stirring in between then add the stock. (If the sauce is lumpy then beat with a balloon whisk.)
• Add the wholegrain mustard, Worcester sauce, if using, and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened slightly.
• Stir in the cooked chicken and leeks. Heat gently for 5 minutes.
• Pour the sauce into a 25 x 16 cm (10 x 6") oven proof dish and leave for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
• Top the chicken and leek filling with the sheet of puff pastry, trimming off any excess and using to decorate.
• If you want a shiny golden crust then mix some egg and brush over the top; otherwise use a little milk and then sprinkle over sesame seeds.
• Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

PUFF PASTRY CHICKEN RECIPE

• Turn up the heat to medium and add the diced chicken breast and stir frequently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the skillet from the heat.

• Set aside the chicken mixture while you work with the puff pastry. Start by unrolling the puff pastry on a baking sheet.
• Cut off the excess paper and discard.
• Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut the puff pastry dough into three equal pieces.
• Cut each of the three pieces in half so you have six square pieces of dough.
• Add two tablespoons of the chicken mixture to the center of each square.
• Use your finger to add a little water to the edge of two sides of the dough.
• Fold the dough into a triangle and use a fork to crimp the edges.
• Repeat with each of the squares.
• Brush each triangle with the egg wash.
• Bake at 350-degrees F until the pastry is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

CREAMY BACON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the bacon up and add it to a skillet (I use kitchen shears to make this job quick). Fry it over medium-high heat until crispy (about 10 mins). Once the bacon is done, take it out of the pan and set it aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan.
• Meanwhile, prep your chicken (cut it in half lengthwise so you have 4 smaller cutlets). Sprinkle them with the garlic powder and pepper and then coat them in the flour.
• Add the chicken to the skillet and cook it in the remaining bacon fat over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes/side or until it's golden. If it starts to splatter a lot, reduce the heat. Once the chicken is browned, take it out of the pan and set it aside.
• Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and butter to the pan. Let it bubble until it's reduced by half (about 3-4 minutes).
• Stir in the cream and once it starts to bubble, add the chicken and bacon back into the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes or so until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has reduced to your liking.

CHICKEN AND BACON IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a skillet, cook the bacon until it's crisp. Drain it on paper towels, then crumble it and set aside. Drain the skillet but don't wipe it.
• Add the butter to the pan; add the onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion is tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the veggies from the skillet to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Add the cream cheese, ricotta, and mustard to the vegetables and mix well. Then stir in the chicken, bacon, and basil.
• Roll out each puff pastry sheet to make it a bit wider. Cut each sheet into thirds, cutting along the fold lines. Then cut the sheet in half to make six rectangles from one sheet. Repeat with the second sheet.
• Put 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of six of the rectangles. Top with the remaining six rectangles. Seal the edges with your fingers, then press with the tines of a fork.
• Move the rectangles to the prepared cookie sheet using a spatula. Gently brush each pastry with some of the beaten egg. Cut a slit in the center of each pastry to let the steam escape.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastries are deep golden brown. Remove to a wire rack using a spatula, and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
• Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels and crumble; set aside. Drain the grease from the air fryer.
• In a 6- or 7-inch metal bowl, combine the butter, onion, and garlic. Air fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Remove the bowl from the air fryer and drain the vegetables.
• Add the cream cheese, ricotta, and mustard to the vegetables and stir. Add the chicken, bacon, and basil.
• Preheat the air fryer to 325°F. Form the sandwiches as directed. Air fry in a single layer for 12 to 17 minutes or until the pastry is light golden brown. Serve.

Remove chicken from stock, reserving 2 1/2 cups of the stock. Coarsely shred chicken.
• Meanwhile, place puff pastry sheet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut pastry sheet into 4 squares; separate squares. Brush squares lightly with egg; top each with 3 parsley leaves, pressing gently to adhere. Sprinkle with pepper. Boke on oven rack until dough is puffed and golden brown, 12-14 minutes.

Add butter to hot drippings in skillet and cook over medium until butter melts, about 1 minute.
