Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté chopped mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until browned. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season and let cool.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard on both sides.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry to 1/4 inch thick. Place the filling in the center, lay the chicken on top, and fold the pastry edges securely.
  5. Transfer to the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  6. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and chicken broth over medium heat. Stir in Dijon mustard and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Notes

Allow chicken to rest before baking for juiciness. Avoid overfilling pastry to prevent sogginess. Use high-quality mustard for enhanced flavors. Store leftovers properly for best results.
