Preparation

Step 1

Cook four thin slices of bacon and drain them on a paper towel.

Chop a spring onion and flat leaf parsley.

Add the spring onions, parsley, crumbled up bacon and a good pinch of pepper to 4 oz firm low fat cream cheese.

Mix it all up. Adding a little garlic, chili pepper and/or grated cheese also tastes great!

Make a fairly deep cut in each chicken fillet. And spread 1/4 of the cream mixture in there.

My puff pastry sheets were fairly small, so I’ve used two for each chicken fillet. I kinda stuck them together, and flattened them a little with my dough pin.

Place the chicken on top of the puff pastry, with the cream cheese side down. Season the chicken with a generous amount of salt and pepper.

Beat a large egg, and brush a little on the edges of the puff pastry.

Just fold them until you end up with small packages. The egg will function as a glue. Lightly brush the top of the puff pastry with the egg as well.

Pop them in a preheated oven, and bake at 400F (200C) for 30 to 35 minutes.
