ingredients

Pie Filling

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup peas & diced carrots
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 potato, chopped into small cubes
  • 1 pepper, chopped
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp SPICEFIEND Curry Flavoured Spice Melange
  • 2 tbsp parsley (optional)

Pie Crust

  • 1 package puff pastry (one crust for the top, one crust for the bottom)

instructions

  1. Heat frying pan with 1 tbsp of cooking oil to medium heat
  2. Sear chicken cubes in frying pan, ensuring no side is pink.  Once seared, remove chicken from pan to set aside for later
  3. Fry chopped onions until onions turn translucent and soft
  4. Add curry to frying pan and stir fry for 1 minute
  5. Add chicken broth and milk to frying pan, stirring in to blend in with curry spice.  Cook for 1 minute or until boiling, then add flour, stirring to ensure the flour mixes in and doesn't get lumpy
  6. Add potatoes, peppers, celery, carrots and cook at medium-low until potatoes are cooked through
  7. Add peas and parsley and cook for 5 minutes
  8. While the filling is cooking, preheat oven per puff pastry package specifications and lay the bottom crust onto a pie pan
  9. When filling is ready, pour as much filling as you can into the pie pan.  Cover with the top pie crust and poke holes in the top crust to let air out
  10. Bake per the package specifications until pie is golden brown
  11. Remove from oven, let sit for 5 minutes, and enjoy!
