To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Coarsely chop dried porcinis. Place in a mixing bowl and cover with 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside, 3 minutes.

    Halve cremini mushrooms.

    Peel and halve shallot. Thinly slice one half and mince other half, keeping sliced and minced shallot separate.

    Stem and coarsely chop 3/4 the parsley. (Reserve 1/4 the leaves whole for garnish.)

    Halve puff pastry and return to refrigerator.

    Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook The Filling

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add cremini mushrooms to hot pan and stir occasionally until softened, 4-6 minutes.

    Add sliced shallots and stir occasiohnally until shallots are translucent, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in porcini mushrooms and their soaking water, 1/3 the demi-glace (reserve remaining for sauce), cream cheese, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, cook until liquid is reduced by half and is creamy, 3-4 minutes.

    Stir in chopped parsley. Remove from burner and tent with foil.

  3. 3

    Bake Puff Pastry and Cook Chicken

    Remove puff pastry squares from refrigerator. Remove any paper between puff pastry squares, if necessary. Cut a square on top of pastry, leaving 1/2" border.

    Place puff pastry on prepared baking sheet and bake in hot oven until golden brown, 9-11 minutes.

    Remove from oven. Carefully, push cut middle of puff pastry down.

    While puff pastry bakes, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add chicken breasts to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean. Let pan cool, 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Place pan used to cook chicken over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add minced shallots and stir occasionally until lightly caramelized, 1-2 minutes.

    Stir in 2 Tbsp. water, remaining demi-glace, and mustard. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir occasionally until thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes.

    If too thick, add more water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.
