is a firm staple meal in my house.  It is loved by both my hubby and children alike and is so tasty and delicious.
You can even make up the filling and freeze it for an easy meal another night!

Ingredients:

  •  2 chicken Breasts diced or 500 grams chicken mince
  • 1 brown onion diced finely
  • 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
  • 200 grams bacon rashers cut finely
  • 1 cup frozen vegetables
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 x 375ml tin evaporated milk
  • cornflour
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

In a heavy based saucepan, fry off the garlic, onion and bacon until cooked through.
Add the chicken breast and cook for about 3 – 4 minutes or until cooked through.
Stir in the frozen vegetables and the milk and the grated cheese, cook for about 5 – 7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender (stir often).
Season according to your taste.
Dissolve about a teaspoon of cornflour in a tablespoon of warm water to make a paste and add until you get the desired consistency – like a thick soup.

Pour the mixture into a Pie dish and add the puff pastry.
Cook in a hot oven for about 20 minutes or until the puff pastry is nice and brown.  Serve the chicken pot pie with a garden salad.

Recipe Hints and Tips:
  • The chicken pot pie mixture can be frozen (minus the pastry).  Seal in a ziplock bag for up to three months.
  • Chicken mince can be used instead of chicken breasts

    Hi there, a bacon rash is just a slice of bacon, and caster sugar is normal sugar but refined - and yes you can use normal sugar!

    like your recipes but don't know what a BACON RASH is nor what is CASTOR SUGAR. Are there other names for these ingredients? Can I use regular sugar and regular bacon?? Thanks! I live in Honduras and sometimes difficult to get fancy ingredients!! Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

    Really nice pie, although would probably leave out the cheese next time.
