Missing ingredient?

Hi guys, I'm cooking a meal for some friends with a french theme and I was thinking of adapting a chicken, red onion and brie pie into little appetisers with the filling wrapped in puff pastry, however my main course is chicken and I was thinking that it would be too much chicken so I would just do red onion and brie together but then thought that that hasn't got enough flavour in it, so any ideas what else I could add to the onion and brie?

    Brie (or better again, camembert) and red onion has lots of flavour. But I would add something piquant, like a small amount of cranberry sauce, or pepper relish. :)

    Dump the brie - tasteless rubbish which is why the French send it all here.

    You could replace it with taleggio which tastes good in a tart with caramelised onions.

    I can say i concur with this. It has a nice balanced flavour and will go well with the rest of your meal. I've had just caramelised onion tarts on their own and they were very tasty too. Remember you don't always need to pack a lot of ingredients into a meal to make it taste nice. it is often the simple flavours that are the best.
