Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
1 dash salt
•
1 dash ground cumin
•
1 dash garlic powder
•
1/2 cup butter, melted
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
•
1 small onion, chopped
•
2 green onions - chopped, green and white parts separated, divided
•
1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
•
1 teaspoon soy-based liquid seasoning (such as Maggi®), or to taste
•

6 ounces butter chicken cooking sauce
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 6 cups of a muffin tin.
2
Stir sugar, salt, cumin, and garlic powder into the melted butter in a bowl. Add flour slowly, mixing until moist but not sticky; you should be able to manipulate it with your hands.
3
Separate tart dough into 6 sections; roll each into a ball and flatten into a round in your hand. Press into the prepared muffin cups.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
5
While crusts are baking, heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Saute onion and white sections of green onions in the hot oil until just starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chicken, soy-based liquid seasoning, salt, and pepper; saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add butter chicken sauce and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
6
Spoon butter chicken mixture into the baked tart shells.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove tarts from tin using a butter knife and tongs. Sprinkle green sections of green onions on top.
