Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 1 large Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Dice the chicken breast into small cubes and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, giving you 8 squares in total.
Spoon an equal amount of the chicken and pepper mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the filling.
Fold the edges of each puff pastry square slightly inward to create a border around the filling. Brush the edges with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Transfer the assembled tarts to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool for a few minutes before serving.
