Chicken Curry Candies

This week is really savoury week and as I have already told you in this post I like to experiment with shortcrust pastry and various ingredients. Today I will show you my new creation: the Chicken Curry Candies. This is a funny and delicious recipe which works perfectly for a party, a light dinner, or a quick lunch. Once you have the shortcrust pastry (which you can also buy ready-made) it´s very very veeeeery quick to prepare.

Ingredients for 3:

shortcrust pastry

2 small chicken breasts

1 red pepper

1 big carrot

curry

olive oil

Procedure:

Roll out the short crust pastry on a sheet of baking paper and cut it following its shape. In this way you will have a rectangle which you will cut in 8 squares. Cut into stripes of the same size the chicken, the carrot, and the pepper. Then you can start forming the candies as shown below:

1. Place in the middle of each square a piece of chicken, carrot, and pepper. 

    Sprinkle some curry and a  couple drops of olive oil.

2. Close the pastry over the filling.

3. Twist the empty limbs a couple of times to make sure the filling stays inside.

Then when your candies are ready, bake them in the oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes or until golden-brown. You can eat them warm or cold; they are delightful accompanied by curry rice and fresh mixed salad or simply alone.

Enjoy ♥
