Chicken and vegetable tart

Chicken and vegetable tart is filled with boiled chicken, sautéed vegetables, corn and béchamel, then baked for 30 minutes at 180°C. The filling stays soft and held together by the sauce, while the pastry browns underneath, like a savory chicken and vegetable tart. I cut it into thick slices and serve it warm with green salad. Preparation: 30 minutes. Cooking: 97 minutes. Resting: 10 minutes. Total time: 137 minutes. Servings: 6. Approximately 550 kcal and 27 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet tart pastry (230 g)
- 1/2 chicken (700 g bone-in)
- 1500 ml water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 20 g vegetable margarine
- 1/2 leek (100 g)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small zucchini (200 g)
- 150 g fresh mushrooms
- 20 ml olive oil
- 2 medium carrots (200 g)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (75 g)
- 50 g smoked sausage
- 1 small chili pepper (10 g)
- 150 g drained corn
- 100 g grated cheese
- 500 g béchamel sauce
Preparation
1. Put the half chicken in a pot with 1500 ml water. Simmer over low heat for 35 minutes, until the meat is cooked through. Take out the chicken and leave it to cool for 10 minutes; pull the meat off the bones and shred it. Strain the broth and save it for other dishes. 2. Cut the leek into julienne strips and mince the garlic. In a frying pan, soften the leek in 15 g vegetable margarine for 5 minutes over low heat, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. 3. Slice the zucchini and mushrooms. Add the zucchini to the pan and sauté for 4 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook for another 6 minutes over medium heat. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. 4. Coarsely grate the carrots and sauté them separately in 15 ml olive oil for 8 minutes, until softened. 5. Cut the bell pepper into small strips and the sausage into thin slices. Sauté them separately in 5 ml olive oil for 8 minutes; add the chili whole or chopped, depending on how spicy you want the filling. 6. Put the chicken in a large bowl and add the sautéed vegetables, drained corn, grated cheese and béchamel sauce. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. 7. Grease the baking dish with 5 g margarine and lay the tart pastry in it. Pour in the filling and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C, until browned on top and the base is thoroughly cooked. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
Green salad goes well on the side, especially when the tart is served warm. The strained broth and tart keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can leave out the smoked sausage, and add the chili only if you want a spicy filling. The pastry may contain gluten, and the béchamel sauce and cheese contain dairy. If your half chicken weighs more than 700 g, simmer it longer, until the meat comes easily away from the bone. A small, firm zucchini releases less liquid than a very mature one. If the mushrooms release a lot of liquid, keep the pan on the heat until it evaporates before mixing them with the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use chicken breast instead of bone-in chicken?
Yes. Simmer 500 g boneless chicken breast for 18 minutes over low heat, then shred it.
Can I use canned mushrooms?
Yes. Drain 150 g mushrooms and sauté them for 3 minutes, just until heated through.
Can I use frozen corn?
Yes, add 150 g after thawing and draining it. If you add it straight from frozen, keep the filling on the heat for another 4 minutes.
