Notes

  • If you want to make this dish ahead of time, you can prepare it up until the point of baking. Cover the wellingtons with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and brush the wellingtons with the beaten egg before baking as directed.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Use 1 tablespoon of dried herbs instead of 1/4 cup of fresh herbs.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the mushroom mixture, such as spinach or caramelized onions.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before serving. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
