Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in 2 cups of fresh spinach and ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until the spinach wilts, approximately 3-4 minutes. Stir in 4 ounces of cream cheese and ¼ cup of heavy cream until smooth and combined.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of cold puff pastry into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches. Place a chicken breast in the center and top it with the creamy filling. Fold the pastry over the chicken, sealing edges tightly; trim excess pastry as needed.
- Beat 1 egg in a small bowl for the egg wash. Using a pastry brush, coat the top and sides of the assembled Wellington with the egg wash.
- Transfer the wellington to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for the chicken.
- Remove the wellington from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Cut into thick slices and serve warm.

Notes
For best results, keep the puff pastry cold before assembly and allow the wellington to rest after baking.
