How to Make a Tasty Chicken Pie

1. Preheat the Oven: Get your oven going at 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. On medium heat, cook them in a skillet until they’re fully cooked. Once done, chop them into bite-sized pieces.
3. Veggie Mix: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Toss in the onions and carrots. Cook them until they’re soft, typically around 5 minutes.
4. Flour Power: Sprinkle flour over the veggies, stirring constantly until the flour browns slightly.
5. Liquid Gold: Gradually add in the chicken stock and milk. Stir until the mixture thickens.
6. Veggie and Chicken Union: Throw in the peas and chicken pieces. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes.
7. Pastry Prep: Roll out the puff pastry. Make sure it’s large enough to cover the pie dish.
8. Assemble the Pie: Pour the chicken mixture into a pie dish. Lay the puff pastry over the top. Pinch the edges to seal the pie. Brush the surface with the beaten egg.
9. Bake the Pie: Pop the pie into the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry turns a golden brown.

Tips for a Perfect Tasty Chicken Pie

1. For a crispier crust, you can brush the pastry with a mix of egg and a tablespoon of water.
2. Always allow your pie to rest for about 5-10 minutes after baking. This helps the filling settle and makes for easier slicing.
3. If your crust starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil during the baking process.

Serving Suggestions

• Salad Side: A light, green salad with a lemon vinaigrette complements the richness of the Tasty chicken pie.
• Steam it Up: Steamed veggies like broccoli or green beans are a wonderful accompaniment.
• Drink Pairing: Opt for a light iced tea or even a sparkling water with lemon to refresh your palate as you devour the pie.
