This is the easiest way to make a pie ever! Its probably cheaper and tastier than the real thing! And, with a few subtle changes, such as using 'light' versions of the ingredients, is probably better for your waistline too!
Ingredients:
Cooked, leftover chicken
1 small leek, sliced
A few mushrooms, quartered or thickly sliced
1tsp Butter
1 can of condensed soup (chicken or mushroom) and a tin of water (once emptied)
Ready to roll puff pastry
Salt and pepper
1) Preheat oven to gas mark 6/200ºc
2) Shred the cooked chicken into an ovenproof dish or pie tin, if you have one.
3) In a saucepan, melt the butter and fry the leeks and mushrooms for a few minutes until soft but not coloured. Tip into the dish with the chicken.
4) Pour the tin of soup into the dish. Fill the can with cold water then add this to the dish. Season and stir well.
5) Roll out the puff pastry until it is roughly the size of your dish. Place it on top of the soup mixture and brush with milk.
6) Cook in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Serve hot with fresh vegetables.
This is another dish up for experimentation. Try using different flavour soups and different meats, such as sausage and tomato - who knows what you can come up with! Post a comment and tell me your combinations!
