CHICKEN POTATO PIE


A warming winter pie containing chicken in a creamy white wine sauce



PREPARATION TIME: 20 minutes
COOKING TIME: 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS
4 Pieces of skinned, boned chicken thigh, diced
1 Onion, halved and sliced into thin half rings
5 Mushrooms, finely chopped
2 tbsp Plain flour
1/2 cup Milk
Small glass of white wine
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Large potatoes, very thinly sliced
Olive oil for frying

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan-forced)

Put the sliced potatoes on a plate, sprinkle with salt and microwave for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a frying pan, fry the onion in a little olive oil. When the onion starts to soften add the chicken and fry until sealed. Add the mushrooms and stir for a minute, then add the flour, still stirring. Slowly stir in the milk until a sauce begins to form, then add enough wine to form a thick but liquid sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tip the chicken and sauce into an oven proof dish. Layer the potatoes over the top to form the pie top. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 25 mins until potatoes are crisp.


VARIATION: CHICKEN POT PIE
