CHEATS CHICKEN PIE WITH A PUFFY HAT!
  This one’s my ultimate lazy pie hack! Juicy chicken stew, chunky veg, creamy sauce and instead of fussing with a full pie crust—we pop a puff pastry hat on top! It’s cosy, it’s comforting, and it’s the easiest pie you’ll ever make. Perfect for when you want something hearty without the hassle.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 tbsp chicken stock powder
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 2 celery sticks diced
  • 2 onions diced
  • 4 medium potatoes diced
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp chicken stock powder yep, another one!
  • 1 cup water
  • 300 ml cream
  • Olive oil
  • 1 piece of puff pastry
  • Milk
  • Sesame seeds optional

Method
 

  1. Mix flour and 1 tbsp stock powder in a bowl. Coat chicken thighs on both sides in the flour mix. Heat olive oil in a large pan and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, toss in your carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Cook until starting to soften – about 5 minutes.
  3. Add thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste and the second spoon of stock powder. Give it a stir until it smells fab!
  4. Pour in water and cream, then mix through the potatoes. Nestle the browned chicken back in, pop a lid on and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. While it simmers, cut your pastry into 4 squares. Place on a lined tray, brush with milk, sprinkle with salt, pepper and sesame seeds if you like.
  6. Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
  7. Spoon your creamy chicken mix into bowls and top each one with a golden pastry lid. Pie night just got way easier!
