Puff Pastry Chicken Bundles

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 40 large spinach leaves
- 1 carton (8 ounces) spreadable chive and onion cream cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon cold water
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0. Cut a lengthwise slit in each chicken breast half to within 1/2 in. of the other side; open meat so it lies flat. Cover with plastic wrap; pound with a meat mallet to 1/8-in. thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place five spinach leaves on each chicken breast half. Spoon a scant 2 tablespoons of cream cheese down the center of each chicken breast half; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon walnuts. Roll up chicken; tuck in ends.
- Unfold puff pastry; cut into eight portions. Roll each into a 7-in. square. Place chicken on one half of each square; fold other half of pastry over chicken. Crimp edges with fork. Combine egg and cold water; brush over edges of pastry.
- Bake on a greased 15x10x1-in.
