Chicken Pie

Another great recipe for the kids lunch box

Ingredients:

• 3/4 shredded roast chicken
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup chopped celery (1 large stalk)
• 1/3 cup chopped carrot (1 carrot)
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Stored bought shortcrust pastry

Method:
1. Me;t the butter, add in onions and fry till it is soft
2. Add in celery and carrot and fry till soften
3. add in chicken broth and let it simmer down
4. Lastly, add in chicken and cheese
5. Let the filling cool down before wrapping
6. once cooled, get the pastry ready. i cut one large pastry sheet into 4
7. Pile 2 large tablespoon of the filling on each of the 4 squares
8. Cut another 4 squares from another pastry sheet and pile it on each of the filling.
9. Fold in the edges into a circular shape and pinch them tightly. Crimp the edges with a fork and make a cross cutting on top for the air to release during baking
10. I freeze the pies at this stage but if baking is required, bake it for 180C for around 20 minutes

This pie is very tasty with the chicken broth. I have used homemade chicken broth, and vegetables from the garden.
