Galette
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. Shortcrust pastry makes an excellent base for pies with various fillings, for example, a julienne-style filling. Today I suggest making such a shortcrust pie with chicken breast and mushrooms. It's a satisfying pastry that you can take to work for a snack or serve at a festive table, decorated with herbs and vegetables. You can prepare the filling not only with chicken breast but also with other meats, fish, or seafood.
