Chicken and Pesto Pockets

I found a yummy looking recipe online and made some subsitutions to it to create this one. It’s a super delish and easy recipe that looks uber fancy.
Stuffed Chicken in Puffed Pastry

1 box puff pastry (not Phyllo)
4 chicken breasts
3 ounces goat cheese
3-4 TBSP pesto

Partially defrost puff pastry. While puff pastry is defrosting, mix together goat cheese and pesto. Set aside. Cut chicken breasts to create a “pocket” out of them. Stuff chicken breasts with pesto mixture.

Spread out 1 sheet of puff pastry and cut in half. Place 1 chicken breast on the section of puff pastry. Fold up and seal with water, making little packets. Repeat with remaining puff pastry, chicken, and pesto mixture.

Place on greased cookie sheet and brush with milk or egg (optional). Bake at 400 for 40 minutes, until puff pastry is golden brown. Serve with a salad.
