Notes: the first time I made it, I forgot the water and it was DRY. I also added mushroom powder before microwaving it, and I'm not sure that helped or not. It could use onion and/or garlic. Also, I needed to bake it much longer to get the pastry totally done--perhaps I shouldn't be the one to roll out the dough. Maybe it was too thick around the edges or I left too much room around the filling.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken or well-seasoned chicken
4 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 oz goat cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)
2 T toasted and coarsely chopped walnuts
2 T water
salt and pepper
1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
PREPARATION
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475.
1. Combine chicken, spinach, goat cheese, walnuts, water, 1/8 tsp each of salt and pepper in bowl and microwave until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir to recombine.
2. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Trim pie crust to 10-inch round and place on prepared baking sheet.
3. Place warmed ingredients in the middle of the pastry circle, leaving 1.5" around the filling. Fold edge of dough over filling, pleating it every 1 to 2 inches as needed.
4. Bake tart until crust is golden and filling is hot, about 15 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Let cool slightly and serve hot.
