Instructions: To begin making the Chicken And Basil Quiche Recipe,For the tart shellTo begin making the Chilli Lemon Paneer Tart Recipe, it is best to make the dough for the tart the previous day and allow it to rest in the refrigerator overnight.To make the tart shell, cut butter into small cubes and freeze them for about 2 hours or until solid.In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, icing sugar, salt and butter and rub with your fingers, until the butter is fully combined and resembles a sand like texture.Add one whole egg into this sand like mixture and bring the dough together. The dough will be sticky.Pack this dough in a cling wrap and allow it to rest in the refrigerator overnight.Keep a 6 inch loose bottom pie tin ready.Dust some flour on the counter and begin rolling the dough, you need to roll out a thick sheet of 1 cm thickness.Carefully lift the sheet of dough and place it over the pie tin, press the dough against the base and the walls. Let the excess dough be there as is, place this pie tin in the freezer for 30 minutes.Remove the pie tin from the freezer, cut off the excess from the edges. Once the edges are cut off using the fork, dock (prick) the pastry so that it doesn’t puff up when it is being baked. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degree celsius for 20-25 minutes.Once you see a nice golden colour it indicates the shell is well baked. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.For the chicken filling Heat a sauce pan with oil on medium heat, add onion and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes. Now add the chicken and cook it until its tender. This will take a good 12-15 minutes.Add basil leaves, dried oregano, thyme and red chilli flaxes and salt to taste.Cook the mixture for at least 5 more minutes and keep it aside to cool. For the savoury custard Beat egg and milk in a bowl till it combines, sprinkle salt and pepper. Set aside. To make the quiche Place the filling in the cooled tart, pour the custard over it, cover it with aluminium foil and bake again, for 20 minutes at 160 degree celsius. Serve the Chicken And Basil Quiche along with a freshly tossed salad and a Mango Melange Drink by the side to enjoy it as a complete meal.
