Chicken Pie

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

INGREDIENTS (Ingredients depends on how much and what kind you like to have in the pie.)
:: 2 pieces of Frozen Puff Pastry
:: 2 big chicken thigh meat-excess fat trimmed
:: A cup of brown mushroom ( I used the small portobello mushrooms) sliced or chopped
:: 1 Carrot chopped, steam or boil to soften
:: Half a French Onion
:: 1-2 Bay Leaves
:: 2 tbsp of butter or oil
:: Salt and Pepper to taste
:: 1 tbsp of cornflour mix with 1 tbsp of chicken stock

DIRECTIONS

:: Place chicken meat, onion, water and bay leaves to cover. Boil then simmer for 30 mins.
:: Remove, strain stock, shred chicken meat and discard bones (Darling prefers pieces of chicken instead of shredding them, so it depends on whether you prefer chicken chunks or shredded pieces)
:: Melt butter in pan over medium fire
:: Stir fry chicken, and mushrooms. Add vegetables like carrot and onions if you want at this point.
:: Add stock, simmer until mixture is runny.
:: Season with salt and pepper
:: Add the cornstarch mixture, stir and simmer for 30secs.
:: Preheat oven at 220 degrees celcius.
:: Meanwhile grease your baking dish and lined it with the Frozen Pastry. I lined the sides as well.
:: Prick the base with a fork. Spoon the filling into the dish.
:: Cover with a second pastry sheet.
:: Trim excess and press edges to seal.
:: Make light cuts on top and bake for 15 to 20 mins until lightly brown.
