Ingredients 1 sheet of puff pastry 2 chicken breasts cut open 6 slices bacon 6 slices cheddar cheese 4 tbsp soft-flavored mustard extra virgin olive oil salt pepper all purpose flour (for sprinkling the puff pastry)
Instructions Place a piece of plastic wrap on your worktop, place one chicken breast on it, season with salt and pepper, put on top of it 3 slices of cheddar cheese, 3 slices of bacon and wrap it in a roll like a caramel with the membrane so that it closes well. Place a pan over high heat and let it heat. Once heated, remove the plastic wrap and sauté the roll for 2 minutes on each side, so that it gets a brown color. Follow the same procedure for the other chicken breast. Place the puff pastry sheet on your worktop, after you have sprinkled a little flour on it, roll it out a little with a rolling pin and cut it in half. With a brush spread 2 tablespoons of mustard on the surface of one roll, place on half of the sheet of puff pastry, wrap it well and with a fork and pierce the puff pastry on its outer surface. Follow the same procedure for the other chicken roll. Finally, place the two puff pastries on a baking sheet, which you have lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (360 °F) for 35-40 minutes. When ready, allow the Wellington rolls to cool for 5 minutes, cut them into pieces and serve.
