Chicken-Pecan Tarts image

Although this recipe makes 10 tarts, I suggest to double the recipe, these are really good!... they can be made ahead of time and just warmed up (but they are much better right out of the oven). Make sure that you brown the pecans beforehand, as this brings out the taste)

Time 22m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
2 cups chopped celery
1/4 cup mayonnaise or 1/4 cup salad dressing
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt or 1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 (7 1/2 ounce) package regular-size refrigerated biscuits (Pillsbury is good)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter; add the pecans and saute until lightly browned.
  • In a medium-size bowl, combine the chicken, celery, mayo, mustard, cream cheese, salt and nutmeg; add in pecans, mix well to combine.
  • Separate the biscuits; roll each into a 4-inch circles.
  • Press into 10 foil baking cups, letting the dough cover the bottom and the sides of the foil pan.
  • Place the foil baking cups (purchase small ones) in muffin pans, or on a foil-lined greased cookie sheet, just sort of squeeze them in to fit, (they seem to bake out better if they are placed in muffin cups) Spoon the chicken mixture into the baking cups.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, or until crust in golden brown-- delicious!

I'm not a fan of chicken pot pie, but these tarts were surprisingly good.

Not a fan of the crust, but the filling was good.

These tarts were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs and spices to the filling next time.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown properly, but the filling was delicious. I will try again with a different crust recipe.

These tarts were a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were very good. I would recommend using less salt in the filling.

I love the combination of chicken and pecans in these tarts. The filling is creamy and flavorful, and the crust is perfectly flaky.

These tarts were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and the filling was simple to prepare. The chicken and pecans were a delicious combination.

I've tried many chicken pot pie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is moist and tender, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. The crust is also flaky and buttery.

These chicken pecan tarts were a hit at my last dinner party! The flaky crust and creamy filling were perfect, and the pecans added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
