Puff Pastry Chicken Bundles
Inside these golden puff pastry "packages", chicken breasts rolled with spinach, herbed cream cheese and walnuts are a savory surprise. I like to serve this elegant entree when we have guests or are celebrating a holiday or special occasion.

I have made these three times. My family loves them. We sometimes have them for Christmas dinner. I brush the whole pocket with egg wash to get the golden color, and I don't put walnuts, my family doesn't like them. But the chicken is always moist and delicious.
These are delicious and look impressive as well. I did heat my oven to 400 degree's and cooked it for the same length of time. My chicken was still moist and the pastry was golden brown. I also substituted basil leaves for the spinach using only two large leaves per chicken bundle-I did not sauté the basil prior to use and I added chopped red pepper to the cream cheese mixture and topped with thinly sliced mushrooms as I had both in the refrigerator. I omitted the walnuts per my husband's request. They turned out beautifully and I will definitely be making them again.
Absolutely delish!! Total comfort food!!
This one was a total disaster. I followed the directions to the letter but not only did the puff pastry never get golden, it actually looked pale and was raw in the end. The recipes said to bake for 25 to 30 minutes and I had it in the oven for an hour just to make the dough bake. Will never make this again. I basically had to throw them all out.
Really liked this. I made the recipe my own - didn't have spinach so just used regular cream cheese, salt and pepper, dried chives and walnuts. They took around 45 minutes to cook - the chicken was cooked but the pastry wasnt as golden as the picture! But that aside, i really liked these and they had such a fancy flavour without being an impossible recipe to make. And rolling up the chicken in pastry wasnt hard at all! Yum.
It took alot longer to cook. In the end i had to broil them to brown the tops And i hate to say it but i didnt like the flavor of the chicken or the walnuts. i liked the pastry and the cream cheese:(
Very good and easy to make! Flavor and texture was great. Hardest part of this recipe is finding spinach in my town!
