Ingredients

Pie

  • 1/2 brown onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 pack chicken thighs
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp mustard
  • 1 pack herb mix
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 250g frozen corn
  • 4 sheets filo pastry
  • 1 Tbsp melted butter or oil

To Serve

  • 1/2 broccoli
  • Tomato sauce, optional

Steps

  1. Prep pie Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a medium baking dish. Finely dice onion and carrot. Pat chicken dry and dice 2cm.
  2. Cook pie filling Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on high heat. Cook chicken for 2–3 minutes, until starting to brown. Add onion and carrot and cook a further 3–4 minutes, until vegetables have softened. Reduce heat to medium, add butter and cook for 1 minute. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Add mustard, herb mix and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually add water, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps forming. Reduce heat to low-medium. Add sour cream and corn and cook a further 1–2 minutes, until heated through. Season with pepper. Place filling into baking dish.
  4. Prep filo and bake pie Brush each filo pastry sheet lightly with melted butter or oil. Very loosely scrunch up filo and place on top of the filling, putting each piece side by side until the surface of the pie is completely covered. Bake chicken filo pie for 15 minutes, or until filo topping is golden and crunchy.
  5. Cook broccoli Bring a full kettle of water to the boil. Cut broccoli into small florets and place in a heat-proof bowl. Cover with boiling water for about 5 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and toss with a little olive oil and season.
  6. Serve pie with tomato sauce and broccoli on the side.
