Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons butter, softened, divided |
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 packages (15 ounces each) refrigerated pie pastry |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
sauce: |
1-1/4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules |
1-1/4 cups hot water |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken to an even thickness. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil and 1 tablespoon butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the rosemary, sage, salt, pepper and remaining butter. Unroll pastry sheets; cut each into a 9-in. square (discard scraps). Place a chicken breast half on each square; spread chicken with butter mixture. Fold pastry over chicken. Trim off excess pastry; pinch seams to seal.
3. Place on a greased baking sheet; brush with egg. Bake at 450° for 18-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
4. Meanwhile, for sauce, dissolve bouillon in hot water. In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in bouillon and wine or broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken. Yield: 4 servings.
