It's Thursday and My quest for food to woo the Grandchildren continues. 99% I'm on the button. Had a couple of so sos.
I had some cooked chicken in the Freezer and I know they love pies.
So this little gem evolved
I used a 30 cm pie tin
This was enough filling for that
Chicken, Corn and Broccoli Pie
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 red onion finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup of milk...you may need more
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 cup frozen corn
1 head of broccoli finely chopped and blanched for about 2 minutes
1 1/2 cups chopped chicken
Puff Pastry Sheets
Egg wash
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water to glaze
Melt butter
Add chopped red onion
Season with Sea salt and Freshly ground black pepper
Gently saute till onions are soft, Don't brown
Add flour
Stir and cook out for about 2 3- minutes
Add milk
Stir well till the sauce thickens
Cook for another 3-4 minutes
Stirring regularly so it doesn't catch on the bottom
Add corn
Then Broccoli, and chicken
Then lemon Zest and Juice
Taste and you will probably have to add more salt and pepper but it's your taste buds
So it's up to you
Cool
Meanwhile pre-heat oven to 200C for Fan. 220C otherwise
Lightly grease your Pan
Line with pastry
Fill with the chicken mix
Top with Pastry lid
Brush with Egg wash
and bake
It should take about 35 minutes
Check after 15 minutes and turn the pan around
The pie should be golden and crisp
Can't wait till dinner

Oh, I love this pie!! I will so be making this. I love this kind of dinner and this is a fabulous new way to make an old favorite, chicken and biscuits - with only a change of crust! Love it! Happy Pie Day!
The hubs just commented yesterday that I should have made more pies last winter - I'll make this one next winter...
