# 7 Easy Chicken Elegance! aka Chicken in puff pastry!



1 Box of frozen Puff pastry, unwrap and let thaw for 20-30 minutes
4 Chicken breasts, boneless/skinless
1 8oz pks cream cheese at room temp
2 garlic cloves minced
2 Tbsp dried dill
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg beaten
_____________________________
Preheat oven to 425*F
In lg bowl combine cream cheese, garlic, dill, salt and pepper. Mix well
Roll out puff pastry cut rectangles large enough to cover and seal around each chicken breasts
Spread rectangles with cream cheese ( I just dollop)
Place chicken breasts on top and seal tightly by first brushing seam of pastry with beaten eggs then pressing edges together across top. Place seam side down on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush completly with beaten egg.
Bake at 425*F for 30 minutes. Check temp of chicken  160 is when chicken is done. If your breasts are thicker it might take longer & if they are thinner it could be less time.

(this recipie can be tuff if you have never made anything with puff pastry. Do your best with it, this dish comes out super yummy, well worth the trouble that can be puff pastry.)
