Total time: 50 min
Yield: 1 pie
Cuisine: South African
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded; 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables; 1 onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 cup chicken broth; 1/2 cup milk; 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; Salt and pepper, to taste; 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed; 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a pie dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, along with the mixed vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously to create a thick, creamy sauce. Season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Transfer the chicken filling to the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit the size of your pie dish, then gently lay it over the top of the chicken mixture. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Once baked, remove the Easy Chicken Pie South Africa from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors with your loved ones!
