CREAMY CHICKEN IN PUFF PASTRY SHELLS
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken boobs, cubed
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
8 oz light cream cheese, softened
6 basil leaves, finely chopped
1 oz(about 2 TBSP) sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
3 slices bacon, cooked(crispy) then broken up
3 Tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese, shredded
1/4 to 1/2 cup white wine
Cook your puff pastry shells according to package directions.
While your shells are baking, heat your Olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
Cook until no longer pink. About 5-8 minutes
In a medium bowl mix together the cream cheese,basil,sun dried tomatoes,garlic,bacon,cheese and wine. Mix until smooth.
Slowly add it to the chicken. Mix with the chicken until no lumps remain.
Remove the middle part of the puff pastry and set aside per package directions.
Place chicken mixture into the hole in the pastry and put the little “hat” on the top of the chicken.
****This sauce would also be yummy over pasta or rice***
How would you describe your cooking style?
My cooking style is totally family-friendly. I don’t cater to my kids’ taste buds. They eat whatever my husband and I eat. I might have to change the meal a bit for them, but I NEVER cook a separate dinner for them. I make two hot meals a day. My darling son doesn’t like cereal (convenient, huh?), so he gets eggs and bacon or homemade waffles every morning! Can you say SPOILED??
Can we see the inside of your kitchen?
I always keep my cookbooks here at the end of my baking counter. The two, white 3-ring binders are a collection of my favorite recipes very neatly organized and categorized.
