Dress for the job you want, they say, and this chicken dons a puff pastry wrap with the intention of being the most scrumptious dinner of your week. Golden and flaky, the puff provides perfect contrast with the tender and juicy chicken. They both sop up the shallot cream like it’s a calling, not just a way to get a paycheck. We consider this pastry wrapped chicken hired, with the intention to promote. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Peel and mince half the shallot (remaining shallot is yours to do with as you please).
Trim ends off green beans and halve.Remove puff pastry from refrigerator. Using the tip of a knife, draw diagonal lines on pastry, about 1/2" apart. Draw another set of diagonal lines crosswise from the first, forming a crosshatch. This is called scoring. Halve pastry diagonally and refrigerate again.Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with a pinch of pepper. -
