- Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they're easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with vegetable cooking spray. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.

Top each with about 4 red pepper strips, < strong>2 asparagus spears and 1 chicken breast placed lengthwise. Brush the edges of the pastry with water. Fold 2 opposite sides of the pastry over the chicken breast. Starting at the short side with the chicken breast, roll up like a jelly roll. Press the edges to seal. Place the rolls onto the baking sheet. Brush with the egg mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the pastry is golden. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
