My two goals were to make sure all of my ingredients were seasonal and readily available and to use something that I had canned last year. So I really ended up with 2 recipes in one by creating the Lemon Curd Vinaigrette. To cut down on time you can use Lemon Pepper Rotisserie chicken breasts from the grocery. —AuntBeesGarden

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • Lemon Curd Vinaigrette
  • 3 tablespoons lemon curd
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1/2 cup Lemon Curd Vinaigrette
  • 1/2 pound fresh brussels sprouts, cut off ends and quartered
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, rough chopped and toasted

  2. Marinate chicken in 1/2 cup vinaigrette for at least 4 hours. Bake in oven, covered for 35 minutes on 350. (If you are pressed for time you can use Lemon Pepper Rotisserie chicken breasted from the grocery instead.) Let chicken cool, remove skin, remove from bones and shred meat.
  3. Place onions in colander over another bowl or in sink sprinkled with kosher salt to drain liquids for 30 minutes.
  4. Toss chicken, brussels sprouts, onions, walnuts and feta in a large bowl with 1/4 cup of Lemon Curd Vinaigrette.

  6. Whisk egg yolk and water to make egg wash. Brush puff pastry with egg wash. Bake for 40 minutes on 400. Makes 2 gallettes.
