Roast Chicken & Pale Ale Pies

Ingredients

Leftover roast chicken, diced up

Leftover gravy from recipe above

Pastry

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°c or 180°c fan forced.
  2. Mix the pork & gravy together – don’t heat up the filling as the pies cook better with cold filling 
  3. Put the filling in a ramekin with a puff pastry lid or in a pie tin with your choice of puff pastry lid with or without shortcrust pastry base. 

Alternatively, if you have a pie maker, use shortcrust pastry for the base & puff pastry for the lid with a 1/4 cup of filling per pie, cook as per pie makers instructions
