Mediterranean Chicken Vegetable Galette

Recipe Ingredients

This dish may look fancy, but thanks to a few simple, shortcut ingredients, it’s incredibly easy to pull together. Here’s what you’ll need.

Refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crust: This bakes up tender and flaky with minimal effort and forms the rustic shape that holds all the fillings.

Frozen Mediterranean Blend Vegetables: This ready-to-use mix of vegetables adds color and texture and keeps prep quick and easy. If you can’t find this blend, feel free to substitute another frozen veggie mixture.

Cooked Roasted Chicken Breast Strips: Chicken adds protein, making the galette hearty and satisfying. We used pre-cooked chicken strips for convenience; shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey would also work well.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Ricotta cheese creates a creamy base that holds the filling together, and grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor. Lemon zest brightens the dish and helps contrast with the richness of the cheeses. A simple egg wash brushed on the crust gives it a beautiful, golden finish.

How to Make Mediterranean Chicken Vegetable Galette

Here’s an overview of how to make this cozy dish—keep scrolling for the full recipe directions.

1. Cook the Veggies

Microwave the frozen vegetables according to package directions and drain thoroughly.

2. Make the Cheese Mixture

In a small bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

3. Prep the Crust

Unroll the softened pie crust onto a large greased baking sheet. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a 1 1/4-inch border around the edges.

4. Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken and veggies with additional lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Spoon over the ricotta layer.

5. Fold the Crust

Gently fold the crust edge up over the filling to create a classic galette shape. Don’t worry about it being perfect—that’s what makes this so easy. It’s meant to look rustic and homemade! Brush the crust with beaten egg, and sprinkle extra Parmesan over the crust and filling.

6. Bake & Enjoy

Bake 25 to 35 minutes in a 375°F oven until the crust is golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

How to Store (and Reheat) Mediterranean Chicken Vegetable Galette

Leftovers reheat well, making this galette a great option for an easy next-day lunch or quick dinner.

Refrigerator Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Be sure to store leftovers within 2 hours of finishing preparation.

Freezer Storage

Wrap remaining slices in plastic wrap, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheating

This galette reheats kind of like a frozen pizza! From the fridge, pop it in a 375°F oven on a baking sheet for 8 to 10 minutes until hot; from the freezer, reheat for 10 to 12 minutes until hot. We wouldn’t recommend reheating leftovers in the microwave—similar to pizza, the crust will get too soggy.
