Roast Chicken Dinner Tarte Tatin
Roast Chicken Tarte Tatin or Leftovers Pie is a wonderful, tasty and fantastically quick way to whip up a tasty dinner with a range of ingredients leftover after a roast dinner.
I whipped this up last night after getting back to London after a flying visit to Cornwall. I looked in the fridge, found some odds and ends and luckily also a pack of pre-rolled puff pastry and remembered a Tarte Tatin I make over Christmas using up leftover turkey, stuffing, chipolatas, cranberry sauce and brie with a little bit of mash. This is basically a pared down version. It doesn’t look amazing, (see below 😂) but I promise you, it is totally delicious, takes less than 5 minutes to put together and who doesn’t love a dish which turns a few ingredients into a fabulous new meal?
