- Ensure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking. You can use a meat tenderizer to flatten them if needed.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before you start cooking to make them easier to work with.
- Use a light spray of cooking oil on the puff pastry to enhance the golden-brown color during baking.
- You can add a layer of fig jam or fresh, thinly-sliced figs on top of each chicken breast before wrapping them in puff pastry for added sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for a perfectly cooked Wellington.
- For added crispiness, you can brush the puff pastry with an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking.
- Roast the cherry tomatoes with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper to bring out their natural sweetness and intensify the flavor.
- Steam the broccoli until just tender to maintain its vibrant color and nutritional value.
