I need a nice chicken and vegetable pie recipe. In gravy,not white sauce and with puff or flaky pastry. I've seen a few on websites but,as you lot have come across with tried and tested recipes in the past,I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks for reading  |

Do you want a proper pie or a pielike version? Because the cheat's chicken puff pie on the goodtoknow website is lush. Although last time I tried it I went with additional accompaniments (mainly so I could try out my new potato ricer and make mash). |

I like to put my veg and diced chicken plus chicken stock and seasoning into the slow cooker .It makes it so tender and melts in your mouth . Once cookedI transfer to an oven dish drain the juices and thicken to a gravy pour it over then add the pastry ... I've used all kinds of vegetables in mine always so tasty and hearty |

What is the cheat? If it's frozen pastry that's fine. It's a nice filling I'm looking for. |

I don't have a slow cooker. I'm looking for a nice gravy that isn't too salty and quantities of ingredients. |

Use the stock you cook the chicken in and add a little corn flour tarragon and marsala |

I was going to use chicken breast as it has less fat. |

Buy some decent chicken stock then.
If you're using breast then I'd advise leaving it whole so it doesn't dry out. I take the lid off and shred it after and put the lid back on. |

Shop bought stock is fatty and high in salt. I'm going for a healthy,home made version if possible. |

You want to heat the stock. Good stock is jellified add whatever herbs or spices. I like tarragon or thyme and rosemary. Add a little corn flower mixed with cold water and it will thicken.

I do a pie on slimming world that I call "shit" pie it's basically left overs it would work for what you want so I add chicken breast chopped, onions, other veg I fancy and Bung it all in a pan, I add 2 chicken oxos and a tiny amount of water and cook it all together until chicken browned and the consistency correct. I also add what ever spices I fancy, usually black pepper and sometimes Cajun etc then I throw it all in a dish and top it with mash potato, if I fancy a treat I have topped it with filo pastry.
If you want as low as fat as possible that's the best way. |

Hi,
"I want ideas for vegetable and flavours"
A traditional choice is chicken and mushroom. So add fine chopped onion and button mushrooms into the chicken stock (I tend to quarter rather than slice the mushrooms). For flavouring I suggest: parsley and thyme with a dash of worcester sauce.
For veg: boiled new potatoes or mustard mash, then you need something to bring colour to the plate - so perhaps either baton carrots, french beans and/or sweet corn.

I made it already thank you. He doesn't like mushrooms. I made a chicken and vegetable pie with leeks,carrots,peas,green beans,spinach and chicken. It was very nice.
