IMPOSSIBLY EASY CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI PIE

• Bake 35 to 38 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

CRUMBLY CHICKEN & MIXED VEGETABLE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel and chop the onion as finely as possible. Melt the butter in the pan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and leave to cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Finely slice the mushrooms and add them to the pan with the onions.
• When the onions and mushrooms are almost cooked, add the flour to the pan and stir to make a thick paste called a roux. Crumble the stock cube in and stir well. Continuously stir the roux over a low heat for 2 mins to cook out the flour. This stops the sauce from having a starchy taste.
• Slowly add the warm milk to the pan, stirring all the time. Once all the milk has been added, season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and mustard powder. Add the bay leaf and bring to the boil, stirring all the time to stop the sauce becoming lumpy.
• When the sauce has thickened, add more milk or water as necessary to get the desired consistency, bring to the boil, then turn down to a very low heat. Chop the cooked chicken into even-sized pieces and add to the sauce. Add your veg and pour into the pie dish.
• Put the pastry on a clean, floured surface. Make sure you also dust the rolling pin with flour. Roll out the pastry, trying not to make any tears. Measure the pastry against the pie dish and once the pastry is slightly larger than the top, lift it carefully over the dish. It might be helpful to use the rolling pin to help you move the pastry. Trim off the pastry hanging over the edge of the dish. Press the outside edge of the pastry with a fork or your fingers to make a nice pattern.
• Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg or milk. Make a small hole in the centre of the pastry top to allow the steam to escape. You can use any leftover pastry to decorate the top of the pie with pastry shapes if you like. Place the pie in the oven for 25 mins. It is ready when golden brown.

CHEESY CHICKEN AND VEGGIE PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Place four chicken breasts and vegetables in a skillet or baking dish. Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and toss until coated. NOTE: You can use a bit of oil for this part but I opt not to and use the moisture from the chicken and vegetables to help the spices stick.
• 2. Bake all ingredients 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Cool ingredients in the fridge or counter until you can handle them.
• 3. RESERVE ANY JUICES OR PAN DRIPPINGS LEFT FROM BAKING. Chop all ingredients and set aside.
• 4. Place hot water in the pan or on the baking sheet to get the drippings and juices from baking your meat and veggies. Set aside.
• 5. Add water/dripping mixture, cream cheese, and shredded cheese in a mixing bowl. Mix until creamy adding more water if needed (you want it to have a cream soup like texture).
• 6. Add your reserved meat and veggie mix to the cheese mixture.
• 7. Open 1 can of crescent rolls and press into a springform pan or non-stick skillet to form a pie crust.
• 8. Add filling to crust.
• 9. Place 2nd can of crescent rolls to the top of the pie. You may need to press the seams together so that the pie doesn't leak.
• 10. Bake at 350 for 23-30 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and the filling is hot.
