How to look sophisticated when making a very simple dish? The answer lies in this recipe! Today we’ll look at how to make a braided puff pastry topped with diced chicken and a leek fondue. It’s very simple to prepare and delicious. With me, there’s always the chicken and leeks in the closet. Ok, I must admit that the puff pastry dough comes from a ready-made trade, so if you want to make it by yourself, here’s the puff pastry recipe.
I prepared the filling in advance. 30 minutes before dinner, I reheated it, added white wine and cream, then did the editing. Then a little baking the oven and that’s a recipe idea to finish a good day to accompany a salad.Photo credit: © Eatwell101.com
Ingredients: Chicken and Leek Puff
For 8 people:
- 3 chicken breasts (about 300 g)
- 3 leeks
- 1/2 cup (15 cl) of cream
- 1 roll of puff pastry
- 1 egg yolk and a little milk
- Seeds (poppy, flax, sesame …)
- Salt, pepper, olive oil, butter
- 1 small glass of white wine
Cooking instructions
Finely chop the leeks, wash with water, and drain. Cut chicken breasts into small cubes. Fry in a little olive oil until golden brown. Salt and pepper, then book.
Fry the leeks in a bit of olive oil and a good knob of butter, stirring occasionally—salt and pepper.
When tender, add the chicken, white wine, and cream. Simmer over low heat until the liquid has evaporated. Allow to cool.
Preheat the oven at 360°F (180°C.)
