Step-by-Step Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken. Sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter and a dash of olive oil. Sauté mushrooms, shallots, and garlic for about 8-10 minutes until moisture evaporates and mixture thickens. Allow to cool.
- On a sheet of plastic wrap, lay out prosciutto slices overlapping slightly. Spread the mushroom duxelles over prosciutto, then place the chicken at the center. Roll prosciutto around chicken to create a tight log. Chill in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface until large enough to wrap chicken roll. Place chilled chicken roll in the center and fold edges over tightly. Chill again for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Whisk together egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of the wrapped Chicken Wellington and cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
- Transfer Chicken Wellington to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Ensure ingredients are completely cool before wrapping to avoid soggy pastry. Customize by swapping ingredients like sautéed spinach or cheese.
