Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
• 1 large Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Dice the chicken breast into small cubes and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.

Step 5

Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, giving you 8 squares in total.

Step 7

Spoon an equal amount of the chicken and pepper mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the filling.

Step 8

Fold the edges of each puff pastry square slightly inward to create a border around the filling. Brush the edges with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 9

Transfer the assembled tarts to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool for a few minutes before serving.
