Mini Tarts with Chicken

These Mini Tarts with Chicken are an appetizer I make pretty often for various occasions or parties. Every time I make them, they are really appreciated, so I thought I should  share the recipe with you.

These mini tarts are nice and small, delicious and full of flavor and makes a perfect appetizer. You can replace chicken with mushrooms, it will be as good in case you want a vegetarian dish.

Servings 12 servings
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients
  

Crust (pate brisee)

  • 1/2 cup (110g) butter, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups (250g) flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) salt

Filling

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 1/2 chicken breast, cut in small pieces
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • fresh basil, chopped
  • 3 tbsp frozen corn kernels
  • 1 tomato, to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the crust. Mix flour with salt. Incorporate butter to the flour, using your hands or using a pastry processor, until crumbs are formed. Add the egg and incorporate until the dough is homogeneous. Knead the dough and form a ball from it. Wrap it with plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180 Celsius (356 F). In a large frying pan heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add chicken breast and cook until the meat has lost its raw color. Stir in paprika, corn kernels and basil, cook for 1 minute. Add salt and pepper and remove from heat.
  • Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape and cut small circles to fit the mini tart molds. Press dough into tart molds without stretching it. Punch the bottoms with a fork.
  • Fill mini tarts with chicken mixture, garnish with tomato slices and bake for 25-30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

    It’s so good to see savory tarts. I’m more of a baker, but I do appreciate a really good savory recipe. Your pics are awesome!

    I’ve made these 4 times in the last 2 weeks for different gatherings (in double and triple quantities) and people just can’t get enough of them. I also add a little grated cheese (usually parmesan) right before adding the tomato slice. You’d think people would have had enough of them but they keep requesting them again and again. 🙂

      That's great, I am glad to hear that. In the same idea you can also try the empanadas, they might love this too:) You can sprinkle some sesame and flex seeds on top, they are delicious.  https://www.homecookingadventure.com/mushroom-empanadas-video

    If I have ready made tarts can I just make the filling and fill the tarts.

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      The filling prepared here is not fully cooked.. but if you completely cook the vegetables and meat on stove top.. then yes.. you can just fill the tarts.
