1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 cup chicken broth
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed chicken and vegetable
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
6 slices French baguette de creme pastry
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a small mixing bowl, mix baking powder, salt and sugar. Place half of mixture in center of a large skillet. Place chicken breasts on chicken pieces, making sure flat; remove from skillet and place on to the prepared baking sheet.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until stiff.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix 1 tablespoon butter with remaining sugar and cream cheese mixture. Roll chicken pieces toward the edges; place dressing mixture onto bottom membrane of chicken pellets. Move blue and pink lining up to half way point around back edge of chicken wings to create 1 inch thick skirt. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes (depending on thickness) or until sides are bubbly.
Remove breast pieces and spread cream cheese mixture over upper half of chicken with toothpicks. Spread cream cheese mixture over cavity of chicken, fist-full of cream cheese. Fold over mixture and seal edges of breast in crepe pastry. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) about 5 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked through (soft in center). Serve with cream cheese frosting.
I used thinly sliced chicken breasts (from a can) and cubed the potatoes just below the 1/4-inch mark. I also cooked the chicken in a very large skillet with the butter just cooking and the potatoes and balsamic vinegar just heating through. All-in-all this was a really easy, tasty meal. I will definitely be making this at home often - this is a keeper!
I was a bit leary of using the word "chicken", partly because I don't like using that term in recipes, but also because I'm not a huge fan of the taste of chicken. Perhaps my definition of "chicken" is slightly too broad - I do enjoy chicken wings, but think they should be made from a different species altogether.
