Chicken and veggie pie!

Chicken and veggie pie

If you know me, I love baking and I also love baking pies. So finally I decided to change up my usual shepards' pies for some chicken and veggie action!

Originally, I was just going to stick with adding chicken and mushroom but I don't feel satisfied until I add a lot of ingredients (and vegetables to try and be healthy?)

Ingredients

Filling

1. 500g chicken fillet, cut into small/medium chunks (marinated with Portuguese chicken flavouring, salt, pepper, sesame oil, mixed herbs)
2. 1 onion, diced
3. 1 zucchini, diced
4. Handful of mushrooms, sliced
5. 2 cloves garlic
6. Chicken stock
7. Tasty grated cheese
8. 1 cup frozen veggies
9. Some shallots, chopped
10. Cornflour, amount depends on how much stock you added
11. 1 egg, beaten
12. Sesame seeds

Puff pastry (Didn't have time to make my own, I used pre-made ones)

Method

1. Prepare the ingredients as stated above (the marinade for the chicken is highly changeable, just so that there's some flavour on the chicken)
2. Preheat a frypan on high, add oil and garlic, stir.
3. Add in the chicken pieces and fry until both sides are brown
4. Add mushroom and stir around.
5. Add some stock if the mixture is drying up
6. Add all the vegetables with the stock, cover with a lid and allow to cook on a medium/high heat for about 10-15 minutes or whenever the chicken and vegetables are cooked
7. Add cheese, stir until melted
8. Add corn flour to thicken mixture
9. Turn off the heat
10. Prepare a round baking dish, brush the bottom with butter to prevent it from sticking.
11. Place a layer of puff pastry on the inside of the pan
12. Put filling inside
13. Place another layer of puff pastry on top to cover filling, use a fork to press in the sides so that it's secure
14. Brush with a beaten egg, sprinkle some sesame seeds just for presentation
15. Bake in oven at 180degrees for 15-20minutes (until the pastry's golden brown)

Before and after baking :)
