Pepperidge Farm® Chicken Florentine Wrapped in Pastry Recipe

  • 1 (17.3 ounce) package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
  1. Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they're easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stir the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
  2. Pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut each chicken breast in half. Coat the chicken with the flour.
  3. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned on both sides. Remove the chicken to a plate. Cover the plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  4. Stir the spinach and nutmeg in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes or until the mixture is hot, stirring often.
  5. Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 14-inch square. Cut the pastry sheet into 4 (7-inch) squares. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet. Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg mixture
  6. Place 1 chicken piece in the center of each of 4 pastry squares. Spread each with 1 teaspoon mustard and top with about 1/4 cup spinach mixture. Top each with another pastry square. Press the edges to seal. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture. Place the pastries on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastries are golden.
