My husband loves chicken piccata. I tried it in a puff pastry pocket with a bit of cream cheese; it tasted sensational. When he took leftovers to work, everyone asked what smelled so great. —Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 chicken tenderloins, cubed
1 large egg, well beaten
1 tablespoon water
4 thin lemon slices
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Beat cream cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper on medium speed until well combined. Fold in capers and shallot.
Unfold puff pastry; roll into a 12-in. square. Cut into 4 smaller squares. Spread cream cheese mixture over squares to within 1/4 in. of edges; top with chicken.
Fold a corner of each pastry square over chicken, forming a triangle. Pinch triangle edges to seal and flatten with fork for tighter seal. Whisk egg and water; brush over pastry pocket, including edges. Discard leftover egg mixture. Pierce each pocket twice with a fork to vent.
Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown, 18-25 minutes. Remove from oven; cool 5 minutes. Serve pockets with lemon slices and parsley.
