Blooming Chicken Dinner Tart

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. The opinions and text are all mine.

Time is the most valuable commodity in a busy family’s schedule. From work demands, school agendas, basic household chores, and extracurricular activities, time isn’t something of abundance. But as any parent knows, it’s not the quantity but the quality of that extra free time that really matters: Putting down the phone to have an in-depth discussion about Elsa’s wintery powers; setting aside dirty dishes for an impromptu dance party to the Vampirina theme song; and sitting down to a proper dinner to talk about the day’s adventures. For a busy family, that last one is both an essential use of precious time and an extremely difficult task to pull off. To help, I’ve teamed up with Tyson Foods to give you a fun dinner recipe that can be prepped in advance. This is my Blooming Chicken Dinner Tart.

Anyone who has ever meal-prepped knows that it’s a great way to save time and energy in the long run. That is why I specifically created this recipe to be meal-prep friendly. You can make a bunch of these tarts on the weekend and have a week’s worth of family-approved meals ready to go. That way, when it’s time to sit down to a nice meal together, you everything is set. So get the recipe here and for the step-by-step tutorial, make sure to scroll down…

Blooming Chicken Dinner Tart

Prep: 20 min., Cook: 15 min., Yields: 6

INGREDIENTS:

• 12 Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips
• 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry
• 1 cup of cooked brown rice
• 6-12 broccolini stalks
• ¼ cup of red onion (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon of garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon of basil (chopped)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Defrost the Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips and frozen puff pastry sheet. Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a popover or muffin pan.
2. Roll out the puff pastry dough until it is approximately 11×14” and then cut it into 6 equal pieces. Then gently push each piece inside the popover pan to line each cavity with the dough.
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown rice, onion, garlic paste, and basil. Add a tablespoon of the mixture to each dough-lined popover cavity.
4. Cut off excess stalk and then place 1-2 broccolinis in each tart. Then add 2 pieces of the Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips to the tart. Top off with more of the rice mixture.
5. Fold any excess dough over the top and bake approximately 15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. Tarts can also be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave. Enjoy!
