  • 2 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry thawed
  • 300 g rindless bacon rashers chopped
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 150 ml ⅔ cup milk
  • 300 ml Bulla Cooking Cream or any cooking cream
  • 1 tsp chicken stock powder Massel or preferred brand
  • ½ tsp sweet paprika
  • 60 g salted butter
  • 40 g ¼ cup plain flour
  • 1 barbecue chicken skin and bones discarded, meat chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
  • 25 g ¼ cup grated cheddar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pastry Base :Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9-inch tart tin with the shortcrust pastry sheets, pressing them gently to form a smooth base. Trim any overhanging edges, prick the base with a fork, and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Cook the Bacon and Onion : In a frying pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Add the sliced onion and crushed garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent. Set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Chicken Filling : In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until smooth and bubbling. Gradually whisk in the milk, cream, chicken stock powder, and paprika, stirring until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • Combine Ingredients : In a large bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg yolks, and creamy sauce until smooth. Add the chopped barbecue chicken, bacon mixture, parsley, and chives, mixing until well combined.
  • Assemble the Tart : Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared pastry shell, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake the Tart : Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Serve and Enjoy : Garnish with extra chives if desired, and serve warm. This Chicken Lorraine Tart pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad.
