Recipe Details

Ingredients

• 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 8 slices Swiss cheese
• 8 slices fully cooked ham
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Description

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown chicken in butter for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each pastry sheet into a 12-in. square. Cut into four 6-in. squares. Place a chicken breast in the center of each square; top with cheese and ham.
3. Whisk egg and water; lightly brush over pastry edges. Bring 2 sides of pastry over chicken, overlapping 1 over the other; press seams to seal. Pinch together ends and fold under.
4. Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; brush tops with egg mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°.
