Indulge in personal-sized chicken pies to end portion disputes.
Ingredients:
  • 20.00 ml plain flour
  • 6 (about 880g) chicken thigh fillets, coarsely chopped
  • 4.60 gm canola oil
  • 1 small brown onion, halved, coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 carrots, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 2 sticks celery, trimmed, coarsely chopped
  • 1 x 425g can Italian diced tomatoes
  • 250ml (1 cup) chicken style liquid stock
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 1/2 sheets (25 x 25cm) ready-rolled puff pastry (Pampas brand), just thawed
  • 80g mixed salad leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, coat chicken with flour. Shake off excess. Heat oil in a saucepan over high heat. Cook chicken in batches for 3 minutes each until browned. Transfer each batch to a bowl before cooking the next.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Sauté onion and garlic for 5 minutes until onion softens. Introduce chicken, carrot, celery, tomato, and stock. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer covered for 1 hour until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Take the mixture off the heat and gently fold in the fresh parsley and thyme. Distribute the flavorful chicken mixture evenly into six ovenproof dishes with a capacity of 250ml (1 cup) each.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut 6 discs using a 10cm-diameter round pastry cutter from the pastry. Brush the edges with water and place them over the chicken mixture. Seal by pressing the edges with a fork. (For freezing instructions, refer below.)
  • Arrange the dishes on a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and has puffed up.
  • Garnish with fresh salad leaves for added freshness and color.
