What do you need for Chicken Tart with Leeks and Sour Cream?

To prepare this Chicken Quiche with Leek and Rice, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog.

• Rice - Use regular white rice or basmati rice for this recipe. Basmati rice is a bit fluffier, but white rice also works well.
• Bacon - Gives a salty taste to this Savory pie. It is best to use bacon bits.
• Smoked Chicken - Chicken breast which has been salted and smoked in a smoker oven. The chicken is already cooked. When pregnant women, babies, and people in poor health attend dinner, it is better not to eat smoked chicken. Then replace it with chicken you have poached in stock until done.
• White wine - Use a dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. The alcohol evaporates by baking the savory pie. If you prefer not to use wine, replace it with ½ cup (100) ml stock.
• Leek - This vegetable has a sweet and mild taste. Slice the leek very thinly.
• Puff pastry - The easiest is a roll of puff pastry from the supermarket's refrigerator, about 16 x 10 inches (40 x 24 cm). Of course, you can also make this recipe with loose sheets of puff pastry. Then place the slices next to each other and press the sides closed. Next, roll the dough with a rolling pin, so it is evenly thick all over (about 5 mm thick).
• Sour cream - This is a thick, slightly acidified cream. It gives a full taste.
• Eggs - To bind the quiche.
