oven to 400°.
For
each packet: roll out the pastry and cut a square large enough
to be folded around the breast. Place one chicken breast in
the middle, sprinkle with salt, pepper and sage. Place a knob
of butter and some mushrooms on it and fold the breast over.
Squeeze some lemon juice and pour a little white wine over
it. Then seal, bringing the corners up to the center. Brush
with beaten egg. Repeat for each packet.
Place
them on an ungreased cookie sheet (I usually put foil on the
cookie sheet - it saves clean-up) and put in the oven for
about 1/2 an hour or until the pastry is nice and brown. The
cooking time will vary, according to the size of your packets,
but the butter should keep the chicken nice and moist.
Serve
with a couple of vegetables (asparagus is really nice with
this), but I don't usually bother with potatoes - the pastry
fills that role.
