Moroccan-inspired rustic chicken pie for ultimate comfort food experience.
Ingredients:
  • 1 kg Bulk Chicken Thigh Fillets, in 1cm cubes
  • 54.60 gm olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 7.50 gm ground cumin
  • 3 tsp ground coriander
  • 2.40 gm salt
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 long green chilli, finely diced
  • 100g medjool dates, seed removed, roughly chopped
  • 255.00 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 10.00 gm cornflour, mixed with 10.00 gm hot water
  • 375.00 ml fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • 4 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
  • In a bowl, combine chicken, 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and salt until chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until soft. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until browned.
  • Combine the carrots, chili, dates, and stock in a pot and bring to a boil. Stir in the cornflour mixture.
  • Simmer gently for 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Place 2 sheets of puff pastry neatly on a lined baking tray to create the base for the pie.
  • Spoon pie filling onto the center of the pastry. Brush edges with beaten egg. Layer the remaining 2 sheets, roll them out slightly, then place on top of the filling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Trim to a 26cm round. Score the top with a sharp knife, brush with egg, then bake for 20 minutes until golden.
  • Serve alongside a fresh, crisp salad.
