Chicken and mushroom pies
The good lady bought me a pie maker for Christmas. This was the first chance to really use it in anger.
I did “cheat” in this batch as I used pre-made pastry.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Add the gravy granules to the water and allow to simmer and thicken. If it gets too thick and water as required.
* Step 2
While the gravy is thickening. Cube the chicken breasts and dice the mushrooms. Add to the gravy. Add pepper to taste.
* Step 3
Allow to simmer until the chicken is cooked. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
* Step 4
While the chicken is cooling. Roll out the pastry. Use the cutter, normally provided with the pie maker, to cut out bases and lids.
* Step 5
Place the bases and lids on greaseproof paper and place in the fridge until the pie contents has cooled.
* Step 6
Against the instructions from the pie maker. Place the bases into maker while the maker is cold. It’s far easier when cold. You don’t have to worry about burning yourself and the pastry will not start cooking before you are ready.
* Step 7
Add the content to each pie. Don’t try to over fill.
* Step 9
Close the maker and turn on. Allow to cook for 15 minutes or until the pies are the colour you like.
* Step 10
Remove the pies from the maker and place on a rack to cool.
* Step 11
Allow the maker to cool down and then repeat for the rest of the ingredients. I managed to make 6 pies.
* Step 12
Well one fell onto my plate for testing. :-)
