Easy Savory Apple Chicken Cheddar Galette

September 25, 2017 Entertainment, Food + Recipes

Easy savory apple chicken cheddar galette wrapped in a golden and flaky pie crust. The recipe is super easy and comes together in no time!

Savory Apple Chicken Cheddar Galette

As a busy Mom who is now well into pregnancy with baby #2 and who also has an energetic two-year-old in tow, I am on a mission! I am constantly trying to make meals that are easy, take little time to prepare, and don’t lack a wow factor. (Hey, this Mom shall never lose her fabulousness…I refuse! )

With the Fall season here, I wanted to start developing recipes that fit my criteria while remaining appropriate for the Autumn weather. After a recent trip to a local apple orchard, I decided to put our pickings to good use. First up, was dinner. I wanted to enjoy some of our apples in a savory dish, versus the sweet options that are in my regular rotation. So, I chose to make a savory galette that included apples, chicken, cheddar, onions, and thyme.

Savory Apple Chicken Cheddar Galette

What is Galette?

If you aren’t aware, a galette is a French pastry that is pretty much an open-face pie. It’s traditionally made with fruit, sugar, and butter, but often you see savory versions that incorporate fruit, herbs, and cheese. It’s unique in the fact that it is freeform in design, so you can never really mess it up. Just wrap the dough around your filling and bake on a pan of your choice. Whatever you create is your masterpiece.

What I like about this Savory Apple Chicken Cheddar Galette is that the apples don’t taste sweet at all. Once it’s mixed with the other ingredients, it meshes so well that you can possibly forget that they are in there. My husband doesn’t particularly care for cooked fruit, but he loves this dish. He’s always surprised that there are apples in the filling as well as on top. The cheddar and the onions bring it all together.

A Few Galette Recipe Tips:

  • When making this Savory Apple Chicken Galette, I typically use pre-prepared pie crust/dough. As I mentioned, I’m usually a busy lady so, this option just makes life much easier. Honestly, it’s pretty flaky and tastes really good.
  • If I have time and patience on my hands, I go to my friend Martha…Stewart, that is. She has a great pie dough recipe that only has 4 ingredients. It’s fairly simple to prepare, just make sure that your butter is seriously chilled… trust me! Here’s Martha Stewart’s recipe if you decide to go that route.
  • When baking, keep an eye on the color of the galette. It should be flaky and golden when it’s done.
  • If you want to make this vegetarian, leave out the chicken and replace with another 1/2 cup of apples and 1/2 cup of onions.
  • Do not forget to take the sprigs of thyme out before baking. They’re ok to eat, it’s just not as pleasant to eat when it feels like you just bit into a mini stick.
  • Make it pretty. Get creative with your final touches of sliced apples and onion when finishing up the galette.
  • Just be prepared to make two galettes. It’s really that good, and you may have people who want large slices.

I hope that you enjoy this easy savory galette as much as I do. It always comes out beautifully and is a huge hit amongst family and friends. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you give this recipe a try.
