Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms until golden and moisture evaporates, about 5-7 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, roughly 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry, rub with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard.
  4. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Place the mushroom and spinach mixture in the center, followed by the chicken. Fold pastry over the filling and seal edges.
  5. Brush the top with egg wash and bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden and chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
