Yummy chicken pies everyone will love, no fighting over who's got a bigger piece.
INGREDIENTS

600g chicken thigh fillets, cut into 2cm pieces
¼ cup (35g) flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
300g mushrooms, chopped
4 green onions (shallots), thinly sliced
½ cup (60g) frozen peas
¼ cup (30g) grated tasty cheese
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed,
cut into four 15cm circles
1 egg, lightly beaten
salad, to serve (optional)

METHOD

Toss chicken pieces in flour, shaking off excess. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Cook chicken in batches, until golden. Remove from pan. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, until mushrooms soften and liquid evaporates.

Preheat oven to 220°C. Combine chicken, mushrooms, green onion, peas and cheese in a bowl. Season to taste. Divide chicken mixture between four 11cm pie dishes or individual ramekins.

Brush edge of pie dishes with water. Cover with pastry and press around edge of each ramekin to seal. Brush tops with egg. Bake pies for 20 minutes, until pastry
is golden. Serve with salad, if you like.




Tip: it's a cinch to make one large pie. Place chicken filling in a 20cm pie dish and top with 1 sheet of pastry, trimming the excess. Brush with egg and bake for about 20 minutes, until golden.
