Savory Chicken and Parmesan Broccoli Tarts

This recipe features buttery pastry filled with a savory mixture of cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and Parmesan cheese. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and bake, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares or circles to fit your tart pans.
Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, grated Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Tarts: Place the pastry pieces into the tart pans. Fill each pastry with the chicken and broccoli mixture, then fold the edges of the pastry over the filling slightly.
Apply Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Place the tarts in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
