Mushroom Duxelles
Cook the mushrooms until all moisture evaporates to prevent soggy pastry. Aim for a thick, paste-like consistency.
2
Puff Pastry Handling
Keep the puff pastry cold to avoid softness. Chill if it becomes too soft, and score the top lightly without cutting through.
Notes
1
Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
2
Prep chicken – Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with oil, then rub to coat both sides.
3
Season – Sprinkle the chosen rub evenly on both sides of the chicken. Press lightly so it adheres.
4
Bake – Place chicken on the tray. Roast for 18 minutes for medium breasts (around 7 oz / 200 g each), up to 22 minutes for larger ones (10 oz / 300 g). Internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C.
