How to Make Chicken Salad Tea Tarts

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out your pie crust and use a 2-inch cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles. Gently press each circle into a mini muffin tin.
  3. Prick the bottom of each tart shell with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. Let the tart shells cool completely in the muffin tin.
  6. While the shells bake, prepare the chicken salad: In a medium bowl, combine cooked chicken (2 cups, shredded), mayonnaise (1/2 cup), celery (1/2 cup, finely chopped), red onion (1/4 cup, finely chopped), Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Mix well.
  7. Once the tart shells are cool, fill each with the chicken salad.
  8. Sprinkle chopped pecans (1/4 cup) over the top of each tart.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
