  3. Cook bacon and pat dry on paper towels. Chop into small pieces. (see note below)
  4. Combine cream cheese, bacon, spring onions and parsley.
  5. Cut pocket in chicken breast. Ideally, you want to slice from the top middle and create a "nest" like pocket.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast with cream cheese mixture.
  7. Wrap each chicken breast in a puff pastry sheet.
  8. Whisk egg and brush over top of puff pastry.
  9. Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Notes
For easy perfect bacon, place bacon in a cold oven. Turn oven to 400 degrees and cook for 20 minutes. Perfect timing to complete other prep items.
