A great way to use up leftover roast chicken, these ultra tasty pot pies have a creamy filling and crisp criss cross pastry crust.
I know it’s not got cold yet, but i’m still in the mood for autumnal comfort eating. So with this in mind i’ve been experimenting in my kitchen, coming up with seasonal recipe ideas for Parentdish.
These little pies are a cinch to make, with the lattice pastry crust making them a touch more spesh. If this seems like too much of a faff, you can totally by-pass it by putting a solid piece of pastry on the top, or even a layer of mash.
Serve to your hungry troop with plenty of steamed greens on the side.
Get thee to Parentdish.co.uk for my recipe
I’m going to add this recipe to October’s round of Credit Crunch Munch, hosted this month by A New Addition on behalf of Fuss Free Flavours & Fab Food 4 All. These pies are a great way to use up leftovers, and I picked up the roll of puff pastry on offer for a £1 at the supermarket, so all in all were pretty frugal.
I’m also going to join in with Foodie Friday hosted by Casa Costello and Romanian Mum Blog
I know what you mean about wanting autumnal food even though the weather is still so warm. I love the lattice on top of these pies, so easy to make a pie look fabulous 🙂
Thanks Jen… yes it’s def been a comfort eating week for me!
I love how the pastry sticks out over the sides of the dish. So cute! Bet it tastes fantastic too!
Thanks Elizabeth… I was going to trim the pastry after i’d cooked it, but decided it looked jaunty 😉
Love these gorgeous pies, just what you need on a crisp autumn night:-)
It definitely feels like it’s getting colder this weekend Camilla!
