Chicken Pie

Oh OMG !!..it's 8 p.m already there goes my holiday !. We did no go anywhere today though it's a public holiday the reason is Alya will be sitting for her exam soon. This morning I was thinking to do some gardening I digged a hole planning to plant some flowers but then I realized for the past couple of months the monkeys had been attacking all my flowers then I stopped digging and keep on thinking what plant does the monkeys will not disturb or better still to keep them away..........ermmmmmm?????????????

while the question still on my mind I made this Chicken Pie....

The recipe from Dr Ezura

Crust :

400 g flour (sifted)

200g margarine /butter (cold)

pinch of salt

7 - 8 tablespoons water (from the fridge)

Method :

- Margarine + flour + salt, make into breadcrumbs (use fork/knife).

- Add water till soft dough is formed.

- Divide into 2 portions and let it rest for at least 20 minutes

For filling I slightly change the ingredients and the method I made the filling as follows:-

450g chicken fillet (diced)

100g Cheddar cheese (grated)

1 onion (diced)

1 cup of sliced button mushroom

1/2 carrot (diced)
1 1/2 cup fresh milk

1 egg (for glazing)

60g margarine

2 tablespoon oil salt and pepper

2 tbsp flour

2 tbsp worchester sauce (Lea & Perins)
1 tbsp tomato ketchup

2 tbsp flour

1 tbsp dried oregano/ mixed herbs

1/2 chicken cube

Method :

- Heat oil and add the onion and cook until the onion is clear or translucent.

- Add the diced chicken.

- when the chicken is thoroughly cooked stir through the flour and cook for one minute.

- Add the tomato ketchup, worchester sauce, carrot, mushroom, herbs and chicken cube. Stir thoroughly to   combine.

- Add butter,milk salt & pepper and simmering until the mixture quite thick then add the grated cheese and set aside.

- Roll thin the dough for the base. Put it in the pie dish. Poke with fork.

- Bake for 20 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 180 c.

- Put the filling onto the baked base.

- Roll thin the second portion of the dough to cover the filling. Trim the edges and press with a fork to seal. Make small slits on top.

- Decorate as desired with the remaining dough.

- Brush with beaten egg and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 C for 40 - 45 minutes

Note : Just like Dr Ezura I made the chicken pie into small chicken pie and I also able to make 16 pieces.
