This warming pie recipe features chili chicken with a layer of bubbling Jalapeno Havarti cheese, in tender pastry for a great family meal.
Serves 4-6
INGREDIENTS:
6 oz. defrosted shortcrust pastry, rolled out to a thickness of 1/4 inch thick
8 oz. chicken pieces, deboned and diced
6 cups mild chili
2 cups Jalapeno Havarti cheese, grated
1/4 cup milk for glazing and sealing
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Roll pastry across a pie dish and cut off excess. Roll out remaining pastry for a lid and set aside.
Combine chicken and chili. Spoon mixture into pie base and sprinkle with cheese.
Use half the milk to moisten the edges of the pastry. Carefully put the pie lid on and crimp the edges to seal. Brush rest of milk over pie lid and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with a light salad and soft rolls.
