Flaky puff pastry envelops tender chicken and a creamy spinach-artichoke filling, creating a fancy-feeling dish that’s deceptively easy to pull together.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken tenderloins
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup spreadable spinach and artichoke cream cheese
  • 4 slices Muenster cheese, halved
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions

  1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 14-in. square. Cut into four squares.
  2. Spoon 2 tablespoons cream cheese into the center of each square; top with Muenster cheese and chicken.
  3. Whisk egg and water; lightly brush over edges. Bring opposite corners of pastry over each bundle; pinch seams to seal. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; brush with remaining egg mixture.
  4. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
