Instructions
1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out a sheet of store-bought pie crust on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 can (12.5 ounces) of drained canned chicken, 1 cup of diced zucchini, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil.

3

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

4

Spread the herbed ricotta mixture in the center of the rolled-out pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.

5

Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the ricotta, then fold the edges of the crust over the filling, pleating it as you go.

6

Brush the crust with an egg wash made from 1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water. Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.

7

Allow the galette to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
