This Creamy Chicken pie is so comforting, tasty and filling. Use ready made short crust pastry to save time, roast your veggies and make the delicious homemade creamy sauce. Give it a go!

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken thighs (£1.65)
  • 1 large onion (£1.45/3)= (£0.49)
  • 1 swede (£0.48)
  • ½ pint semi-skimmed milk (£0.49)
  • 2 tins of garden peas (£0.21x2) = £0.42)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (£0.12)
  • Short crust pastry (£0.85)
  • Bunch of fresh thyme (£0.75)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C

  • Finely chop the onion and garlic and cut up the swede into chunks.
  • Remove the skin and bones from the chicken thighs and then slice into smaller pieces.
  • Add the onions and swede to a large saucepan on a medium heat with a tbsp of olive oil. Cook for around 10 minutes (add the garlic during the last few minutes).
  • After 10 minutes, add the chicken, thyme and peas into the frying pan along with 3 tbsp of flour. Reduce the heat and pour in the milk. Simmer until the sauce has thickened and then transfer to a baking dish. Season with salt.
  • Roll out the puff pastry on top of the baking dish, folding over the overhanging pieces. Glaze with some milk and slice a funky pattern to add a professional touch. I had some left over thyme so I chucked that on top.
  • Pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes and you’re good to go!
