This dish is a type of pastry that is filled with a mixture of chicken, bell peppers, and a zesty marinade. The three main ingredients of this dish are chicken, bell peppers, and pastry.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package of puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
For the zesty marinade, you will need:
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the zesty marinade. Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables and stir to coat.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into 4-inch squares. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each square, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal. Brush the tops of the samsas with the beaten egg.
Bake the samsas for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of the chicken and bell pepper samsa with zesty marinade.
This dish is a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors, with the zesty marinade adding a tangy kick to the chicken and bell peppers. The pastry is flaky and buttery, making it the perfect vessel for the filling. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
