Jerk Chicken and Mushroom Tart

 

On your Tarts!!

Apparentlyly, fairy Godmother granted the chicken pot pie a wish and she got to dress up; transformed into this tart, and went to the ball. That is what I think of when I look at this elegant looking tart. Phyllo/Filo dough can be so unforgiving at times and other times every wrinkle looks like a work of art.  I wanted to make a pie where imperfections become perfections. A traditional pie crust is sometimes not so forgiving, but phyllo/filo dough will do the trick.

Barbe-Jerk Chicken

Cookout and BBQ Season!

Is there anything worse than dried out chicken? There probably is, but in the context of this post, it’s the worst thing ever. Over the years I have had too much dried out chicken cooked on an open flame.  No one has time for low and slow (unless you’re from the south) everyone throws the chicken on the grill at high heat until it cooks, then coats it with a nice sauce in an effort to camouflage the dryness. I know very well, in the past I too was an offender, but a chance rain shower helped a friend and I stumble upon the best technique. And I have never looked back.
