For 6 portions

Ingredients

6 chicken breasts
1 package of frozen spinach
3 sheets of chilled puff pastry
2–3 tablespoons of sour cream
6 slices of hard cheese
4 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of butter
Salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg
1 egg for brushing

Preparation procedure

Preparing the spinach: Sauté the frozen spinach in butter and leave it in the pan until the water evaporates. Add crushed garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Sauté the mixture for about 2 minutes. Finally add the sour cream, stir, and remove from the heat.
Preparing the chicken breasts: Cut each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket for the filling. Place the spinach mixture and a slice of cheese into the pocket. Season the meat with salt and season to taste.
Wrapping in puff pastry: Divide each sheet of puff pastry into two parts to get 6 pieces. Cut strips into the sides of each pastry piece. Place one stuffed chicken breast in the center and then fold the individual pastry strips over the meat so it is completely wrapped.
Baking: Transfer the wrapped chicken breasts to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush them with the beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for about 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden.
Serving: Serve with a side of your choice, for example roasted potatoes, rice, or fresh vegetables.

This dish is a perfect example of how chicken and puff pastry can be wonderfully combined to create a juicy, tasty, and easy-to-prepare lunch or dinner. Enjoy your meal!
