Ingredients:
- 80g FIRST CHOICE Butter
- 250g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onions, chopped and cooked
- 800g chicken breasts, cooked, deboned and cubed
- Salt and black pepper
- 25g cake flour
- 150ml FIRST CHOICE milk
- 100ml chicken stock
- 150g FIRST CHOICE mature cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 roll (400g) puff pastry
- 1 egg, whisked with 30ml FIRST CHOICE Milk (egg wash)
Preparation method:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease a large baking sheet.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan and fry the mushrooms until cooked and golden brown. Season.
- Add the cooked onion, chicken, flour and stir well.
- Add the milk, chicken stock and stir it well into the chicken mixture.
- Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for a few minutes, stir regularly.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the cheese and set aside to cool completely.
- Roll out the puff pastry into a 25 x 35cm rectangle. Divide in three lengthways. Only mark, do not cut.
- Spoon the filling onto the centre third. Cut the pastry on either side of the filling into 2cm wide strips, right up to the filling.
- Brush the strips with the egg wash. Fold strips alternately over the filling to obtain a pretty plaited effect.
- Place the plaited chicken pie on the prepared baking sheet and brush with more egg wash.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
OPTIONAL
* Sprinkle sesame seeds over the egg-washed pastry, just before you place the pie in the oven.
Enjoy!
