Recipe history

Pâtés in general have a long history, having been eaten in various forms for centuries. They are often associated with traditional cuisines, where the dough was used to envelop savory fillings. This recipe combines the delicious flavors of chicken breast, mushrooms and corn, making it a great choice for those who love meat dishes but want to add a touch of freshness.

How to make pates

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Start by peeling the onion. Chop them finely so they cook evenly in the pan. Choose fresh mushrooms, preferably Champignon, as they have a delicate flavor and blend perfectly into our stuffing. The chicken breast should be cut into small cubes to cook evenly and quickly.

Step 2: Brown the onions
In a skillet, add a couple tablespoons of oil and place over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and golden brown. This process will add delicious flavor to your dish.

Step 3: Cooking the chicken breast
Once the onions are ready, add the chicken breast cubes to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, basil and marjoram. Mix well to combine the flavors. Cook the chicken breast for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is white and almost cooked through.

Step 4: Adding the mushrooms
Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and stir. Let them cook with the chicken for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms release their juices and soften.

Step 5: Incorporating the stock and corn
Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the tomato broth, stirring well. Cover the pan and simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes. This step will help blend the flavors. When the mixture is almost done, add the canned corn and stir.

Step 6: Finalizing the stuffing
When the mixture has reduced and the meat is cooked through, turn off the heat. Add the two eggs and stir vigorously to bind the stuffing. It will become more consistent and easier to handle.

Step 7: Prepare the dough
Roll out the foie pastry on a clean surface. Cut it into approximately 8-10 cm squares. This size is perfect for wrapping the filling.

Step 8: Filling the beds
Spoon a spoonful of the chicken, mushroom and corn filling into each pastry square. Make sure you don't overdo the filling or the patties will open during baking.

Step 9: Form the beds
Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to create a decorative pattern on the edges, as well as to make sure they're well sealed.

Step 10: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the patties on an oiled baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Step 11: Serving
Once baked, remove the patties from the oven and allow to cool slightly. They can be served hot or cold and are equally delicious either way.

Practical tips

1. If you want to add extra flavor, you can use different types of mushrooms such as shiitake or portobello mushrooms.
2. Experiment with spices. Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick or a sprinkle of paprika for a splash of color.
3. Instead of canned corn, use freshly cooked corn; the flavor will be more intense.
4. For a crunchy touch, sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top of the beds before baking.

Nutritional benefits

These blankets are high in protein thanks to the chicken breast, and the mushrooms are an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants. The corn provides a boost of vitamins and minerals, making these blankets not only delicious, but also nutritious.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use store-bought puff pastry?
Of course you can! Store-bought puff pastry is a great time-saving option.

2. Can I freeze the beds?
Yes, you can freeze the beds before baking. Place them on a tray and put them in the freezer. Once frozen, you can move them to an airtight container. When you want to prepare them, bake them straight from the freezer, but add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

3. What can I pair these blankets with?
These blankets are great with a fresh salad or garlic yoghurt dressing. You can make a spicy tomato sauce to accompany them.
