4 (4 ounce) skinless

boneless chicken breast halves

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese with chives

4 puff pastry shells

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place in hot oil; cook for 5 minutes turning to brown evenly. Remove skillet from heat.

Spread 2 ounces of cream cheese on one chicken breast place in the center of a pastry sheet; fold the pastry around the chicken and pinch the pastry edges together very tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place the pastry-wrapped chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet.
