Delicious Chicken and Broccoli Cheese Tarts

This recipe features a buttery pastry filled with a savory mixture of cooked chicken, broccoli, and melted cheese. It takes about 45 minutes to prepare and bake, yielding 6 tarts that serve well as an appetizer or main dish.

Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped herbs for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares or circles, depending on your tart pan.
Assemble the Tarts: Place the pastry pieces into a greased tart pan or muffin tin. Fill each pastry with the chicken and broccoli mixture, being careful not to overfill.
Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden color when baked.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped herbs if desired.
