Black Pepper Chicken Pie

                         

My first preparation is that I used 3 chicken breasts meat, rub with some olive oil and seasoned it with salt and grounded black pepper. Grilled in the microwave for about 20-30mins or less, depending the size of the chicken breast. Half way I turnover the chicken, so it will cook evenly. I didn't grilled it till perfection because It may dries up the meat juice and tenderness.

While I was waiting for the chicken in the microwave, I've prepared the rest of the ingredients:

Easy Black Pepper Chicken Pie (6 pax)

3 chicken breasts (seasoned as I mentioned earlier, cut into cubes)

2 medium size russet potatoes (Boiled, cut into cubes)

1 big onion (chopped)

1 small bowl of frozen mix vegetable

1 small can of Campbell mushroom soup + 1/2 small can of water

Some salt, soy sauce and also grounded black pepper to taste

12 sheets of Kawan puff pastry

1 egg for brushing

*Additional filling: Some generous slice of hard boiled egg

 

Firstly, stir fry the onions till fragrant and gradually put in the chicken, potatoes, mix vegetables.

 

Slowly stir and add in the mushroom soup and water. Simmer till cook and the gravy will slightly thickening.

 

Then, add in the seasoning to taste. Lastly, set a side and let it cool.

 

Cook the chicken filling one day ahead and keep in an air tight container for the next day usage. As the chicken meat will absorb the full flavor from the black pepper gravy.

The next morning, I placed the thawed puff pastry on the aluminium foil.

Poke a few times with fork.

Scoop in the chicken filling. Before covered the top with puff pastry, I placed in a slice of hard boiled egg in each chicken pie.

 

Next, stretch the pastry slightly and used a round cutter to press out a round shape to cover the pie nicely. Press the edge to seal the chicken pie neatly with fork.

 

Arranged the leafs for each chicken pies. Again make some incision on top of the pie and glaze the top with some egg wash.

Preheat the oven to 200 Degree Celcius and bake in the oven for 25-30mins or until the pie rises and golden brown.

Crust outside with creamy black pepper chicken inside.
