Tasty Tuesday...

This is something that I've made a couple of times (introduced by Cindy) and it is so good and pretty easy!!

Chicken Alouette (from MyRecipes.com)

Ingredients

• 1 (17 1/4-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 (4-ounce) container garlic-and-spice-flavored Alouette cheese*
• 6 skinned and boned chicken breast halves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Preparation

1. Unfold pastry sheets, and roll each sheet into a 14- x 12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut 1 sheet into 4 (7- x 6-inch) rectangles; cut second sheet into 2 (7- x 6-inch) rectangles. Shape each small rectangle into an oval by trimming off corners. Spread pastry ovals evenly with cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge.

2. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, and place in center of each pastry oval. Lightly moisten pastry edges with water. Fold ends over chicken; fold sides over, pressing to seal. Place each bundle, seam side down, on a lightly greased baking sheet.

3. Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush mixture over chicken bundles.

Bake at 400° on lower oven rack 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cover and chill up to 24 hours, or bake immediately.

(I substitute the alouette for reduced fat chive and onion cream cheese...just good)
