Ingredients (14 ingredients)

10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach
5 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 piece large egg
1 tbsp water
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp ground thyme
salt
ground black pepper
3 slice provolone cheese

Preparation (7 steps)

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.

Cook the spinach

Place spinach in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on medium power for 6 minutes. Remove cover and stir. Remove to a strainer and let cool. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.

Prepare the chicken and pastry

While the spinach is cooking, butterfly the chicken without cutting all the way through. Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl. Unfold pastry sheet and cut down the folds to make 3 equal pieces. These steps are done outside of the Thermomix.

Sauté the chicken

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add chicken. Sauté until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.

Prepare the spinach mixture

Thermomix® Setting

10 sec/Speed 3

Squeeze spinach to remove excess water. Add 1 clove garlic to the mixing bowl and chop for 3 Sec./Stufe 7. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula. Add the squeezed spinach, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon ground thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix for 10 Sec./Stufe 3.

Assemble the chicken

Put 1/3 of the spinach mixture in each open chicken breast and top with a 1 slice of provolone cheese. Fold the top of each chicken breast in order to sandwich the spinach and cheese in between. Place each chicken breast on a piece of puff pastry; wrap the pastry around the breast and tuck underneath to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.
