Chicken pie?

doelani

I have read 6 pages and loads of ideas BUT................

ok I am not a good cook , wnat to amke chicken and veg pie but do not like white sauce and I knw a lot of peopel use soup for their pies but just think it would be to " soupy" lol although i do love chcken coup.

I thought I would start easy and make it with gravy but............how do I make the gravy ? I have stock cubes do I just make one up and use it ? will it need to be thickened? should I go buy some " chicken gravy mix" ?

ok I know everyone is probally lauging at me sorry :rotfl:

I've used chicken gravy mix - not too thick though. Left over gravy from Sunday usually.

Hi doelani,

Fry some onion in a little oil. Remove from the heat and crumble in your stock cube. Add any juices you have from cooking the chicken and water leftover from steaming your veg to make the amount that you want and simmer until the stock cube is dissolved. To thicken it, mix a little cornflour with cold water and gradually add it to the gravy stirring continously until it's the consistency you want.

Have tried the recipe collections but can't find one for chicken pie, just the filling please. Anyone got a recipe not too sure whether it should be gravy or a white sauce? Thanks

It can be either, depends on what you fancy, gravy is nice with a few peas and some tiny bits of carrot in, and white sauce is nice with small bits if brocoli and leek in.

I can never get what I am looking for when I use the search facility, but today it worked for me lol http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1991321&highlight=chicken+pie+recipie

Short thread, tells you how to do the white sauce and using gravy too

Whit sauce in the pie gravy over it is my prefered option.
I usually give the chicken a good coat in seasoned flour then fry it up just add milk or cream to the chicken enough to give it a good coating of thick sauce then ram the pie fas full as possible.

Can someone do me a huge favour and provide a linky to a gorgeous OS chicken pie recipe for me pse!

I've searched and searched, and I know it's hidden in here somewhere! I think it's buried under a zillion others.

(Is there an index for recipes somewhere that I'm missing?)

Thanks so very much for your help.

Thanks xxxx
