I must really love you all to share some of my prized recipes with you. This dish is a family favorite. It was a favorite of mine growing up, and it is a family favorite now. Well, okay, that is a lie. My kids don’t eat it. One kiddo can’t due to dietary restrictions, and one just won’t because he is stubborn. Buuuttt…my husband and I love this dish. And I make it a rule to never cook for the kids. If I did, we’d be eating gluten free chicken nuggets and rice pasta noodles every night. Ew.
This recipe is super easy and tastes and looks like it’s not—which is also why I love it so much! (It’s always good when people think you’re a better cook than you actually are :).
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 package frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 4 oz garlic & spice alouette cheese (or any flavored cream cheese will do if you’re on a tight budget)
- 3 skinless chicken breasts cut thinly in half to make 6 pieces
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 egg white beaten with some H2O
Here’s what you’ll do:
Preheat your oven to 400. Once your pastry is thawed, roll it out on a floured surface. Cut it into six rectangles. Plop some cheese on each piece. Plop a salted & peppered chicken piece over that. And wrap them up like sweet little packages. Seriously. That’s it.
When you are wrapping them up, reserve any extra dough. You will use this for a garnish. I usually make leaves, but you can cut (or use a cookie cutter) any shape you desire.
Enjoy the tastiness without the fuss!

I love that before and after picture-that's a crack up! The recipe looks yummy, and good for you to not cook for the kids-that's just way too work! (at least at our house it would be!)

I may not be able to eat it {I share that dietary restriction with your son}, but it looks so good! I also don't mind making things that I can't eat for my family, so I may just try this. In the meantime, I need to figure out how to change my rice flour into pastry dough. : ) Thanks for sharing your family recipe!
Delish! Not only does the main dish look good the side look good too! Thanks for sharing.
