Savoury low-calorie chicken pies, a satisfying family favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 400g chicken breast fillet, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 1.25 gm ground cinnamon, plus 1.25 gm, extra
  • 300g sweet potato, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 250ml (1 cup) salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 20.00 ml sliced natural almonds, lightly toasted
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, chopped
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh coriander
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 4 sheets filo pastry
  • 80g (1/3cup) low-fat natural yoghurt
  • 1.50 gm icing sugar
  • Broccolini, to serve
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 190C/170C fan forced. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a saucepan over high heat and brown the chicken by stirring for 3-4 minutes. Then, transfer the chicken to a bowl. Cook the onion and celery for 5 minutes. Finally, add the garlic, cumin, and cinnamon to the saucepan and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Combine sweet potato and stock in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add chicken and simmer covered for another 5 minutes. Uncover and simmer for an additional 8 minutes. Allow to cool before adding almonds, egg, and half the herbs.
  • Spread the filling evenly among four 250ml (1 cup) ovenproof baking dishes. Lightly coat a sheet of pastry with oil, crumple it up, and place it over the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining filo sheets.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Mix the yogurt with the remaining herbs. Sprinkle pies with icing sugar and an extra 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Serve with yogurt, broccolini, and lemon.
