- 1 sheet high-quality puff pastry (thawed)
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth

- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a skillet, sauté mushrooms, garlic, and thyme over medium heat until mushrooms are tender; season with salt and pepper.
- 2. Add chicken breasts to the same skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides (5-7 minutes per side). Remove from heat.
- 3. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry. Place half of the mushroom mixture in the center, add two chicken breasts, and top with remaining mushrooms. Fold pastry edges over to seal.
