Chicken, Fontina and Walnuts Encased in Puff Pastry with a Basil Cream Sauce


Foodbuzz is hosting a weekly collection of 9 convenient recipes your family will love called "Family Bites". From lunch to dinner, and healthy snacks in between, your family will find these recipes wonderful to have on hand for quick and easy preparations to satisfy your family. This week Foodbuzz is Featuring Dalla Mia Cucina. What was so fun about this challenge was the opportunity to use the Paul Newman's products to create some of these recipes like this Chicken recipe encased in Puff Pastry. The cream sauce base was made by starting with Newman's Own Alfredo Pasta Sauce. I was so pleased with the freshness and flavor of this product and I think you will be too.

Prep Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Cook Time: 12 � 15 minutes
Servings: 5--7

Ingredients
2 Cups Chicken cooked and shredded
1 Sheet Puff Pastry (frozen is fine)
15 ~ 1/4 inch slices Fontina Cheese
3/4 Cups Chopped Walnuts
2 Cups Basil Cream Sauce (see below)
Egg Wash ~ 1 Egg yolk mixed with 3 Tbs. Milk

Cream Sauce

Newman's Own Alfredo Pasta Sauce
1/2 Cup Fresh Basil chiffonade


Cream Sauce Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400�
Heat in a pot the Newman's Own Alfredo Pasta Sauce.
Add the sliced basil chiffonade. Set sauce aside.

Assembly
1. Dust your work surface with a light sprinkling of flour. Lay your Pastry dough on a work surface and lightly roll it out. You should be able to get 15 squares from your pastry by cutting them into 3 by 5 inch squares.
2. Place a spoon full of chicken on each square topped with some sauce, a piece of fontina cheese and a couple of walnuts. Moisten the edges with some of the egg wash.
3. Fold the dough up over the ingredients. Make sure your last edge has enough egg wash on it for a good seal.
4. Egg wash the tops of the puffs and place in 400� pre heated oven, bake for 12 - 15 minutes.
5. Pour some of the extra sauce in serving bowls.
Place 2 -3 chicken puff in each bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy!!
