CHICKEN PIE - VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY


This chicken pie is tasty and filling. It's also easy on the family budget. You can make the pie with vegetarian chicken substitutes, there are some very good ones on the market.
The pie is great for a family get-together lunch. It's a good winter dish!

Ingredients
Chicken pieces, vegetarian style if you wish
Frozen pastry
Tub of cream
Packet of chicken soup [if not vegetarian]
Onion
Green pepper
Olive oil

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C
2. Chop and fry onion and green pepper together in a little olive oil
3. Cut chicken into small pieces, place in the saucepan with the fried onion and pepper, and fry together until browned
4. Stir the packet of soup into cream and add a little milk if necessary. Stir the mixture into the fried ingredients
5. Place the mixture into an ovenproof dish
6. Place frozen pastry over the mixture
7. Cut some vents into the pastry with a knife so that steam can escape during cooking. Put a little beaten egg on the top to create a glaze on the pie. 
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 25 to 35 minutes. Make sure the chicken is well cooked through. The top should be nicely browned and the filling piping hot. Remove, allow to slightly cool, and serve.
