Easy Chicken and Tomato Herb Galette Recipe

This galette features a buttery crust filled with seasoned chicken, ripe tomatoes, and aromatic herbs. It takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pre-made pie crust or homemade pastry dough
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
2 cups ripe tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sliced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pie crust into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Assemble the Galette: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the chicken and tomato filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary.
Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Serve: Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
