Chicken Pie
This is a popular Nigerian snack. This easy homemade chicken pie is the ultimate cozy comfort food.
Ingredients
- 1.5kg chicken
- 100g streaky bacon
- 100g sliced button mushrooms
- 1 chopped onions
- 250ml chicken stock
- Chopped parsley
- 1 chopped boiled egg
- 200g puff pastry (meat pie dough)
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Cut the chicken, remove the bone and cut into pieces
- Season lightly with salt and pepper (I use habanero pepper)
- Wrap each piece in very thin streaky bacon and place in a pie dish
- Add the washed sliced mushrooms and remainder of ingredients, except the pastry
- Add sufficient cold stock to barely cover the chicken
- Cover with puff pastry (you can use the meat pie dough) and allow to rest in a refrigerator
- Egg wash and bake at 200 degrees for 30 minutes (I bake till the top is brown)
- Reduce the heat to 160-180 degrees and continue to cook for 1 hour (yes it can take a while)
