Chicken & Ham En Croute

Tender chicken breast and ham hock in a spinach and white wine sauce, encased in fresh, flaky puff pastry.

How to Cook

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas Mark 7.
  2. Remove the film and place the two en croutes, with the greaseproof paper, onto a baking tray. For best results, brush the pastry with milk or whisked egg.
  3. Cook for 22 minutes in the centre of the oven. If using a gas oven, cook for an extra 5 minutes.
  4. Leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving. Make sure they’re piping hot throughout.

Something
to drink?

What could be better than to sip a chilled glass of crisp, dry white wine with this comforting dish? A chenin blanc, chardonnay, or sauvignon blanc would do the job nicely.
