Chicken & Asparagus Tart

cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: turkey breast

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner and often less expensive than chicken breast.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

shortcrust pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: store-bought pastry

Whole wheat adds fiber while store-bought saves time.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Roll out the shortcrust pastry and line tartlet molds.

Blind bake the pastry for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden.

Sauté chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced chicken breast and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in chopped white asparagus and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together cream, egg, cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Combine the chicken mixture with the cream mixture and mix well.

Spoon the filling into the baked pastry shells.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until set and golden on top.

Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
