Chicken Pie

This recipe is easy peasy, great for a Sunday night. And its soooo yummy too.

Ingredients

1 shole bbq chicken
1 400g can cream of chicken soup
1 tbsp oil
1 leek, sliced thinly
1 zucchini grated
1 carrot grated
1/2 cup peas
1/2 cup corn
Sheets of puff pastry

Method

Strip all the skin and meat off the chicken. Eat the skin (hehe) and toss the bones (or if you are clever use them to make your own stock).

In a frying pan, heat the oil and add the leek, zucchini and carrot. Cook till softened. Add peas, corn and soup mix. Stir and add chicken. Allow to cool.

You can use this mix to make any size pies you like. The Pastry can be used for both the top and the bottoms of the pie. For muffin size pies, cut the pastry sheets into quarters. Grease the muffin tins and line with pastry. Fill with the meat mix. Gather pastry corners together, and give it a twist. I popped a bit of egg wash on the top of the pies for colour.

Cook at about 200c until brown.

Eat and enjoy.

Tuna Puffs

Another family favourite. I hate tuna, especially straight out of the can. But I love this recipe, its worth trying.

Ingredients

500g packet of puff pastry sheets
30g butter
3 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
800g can tuna in water, drained
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
salt and pepper

Method

Melt butter, stir in flour. Cook for 1 minute and add milk, tuna, salt and pepper. Stir constantly until sauce boils. Add lemon juice and chopped parsley. Cool. Cut pastry sheets into 12cm squares. Place a small amount of filling into each square. Glaze with a little milk. Fold each square over to form a triangle. Glaze each triangle with a little milk. Cuta a slit in the top. Place triangles on a greased baking tray. Bake at 200c for 10 minutes and then 180 c for 20 minutes.

Serve with onion sauce (white sauce with onions in it)
