Chicken Chorizo Pot Pie

You can just place your circles of puff pastry onto an oven proof tray lined with baking paper to cook whilst you are making the chicken mix and when ready place on top of the ramekins when serving.

Ingredients

• 1 chicken breast, diced
• ½ onion, diced
• ½ red capsicum, diced
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1 tomato, diced
• ¼ chorizo (25g), diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 4 mushrooms, sliced
• ¼ cup frozen peas
• ¼ cup water
• 1 tsp. tomato paste
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Sprinkle oregano or rosemary
• 1 puff pastry sheet

Method

1. Heat oven to 200C.
2. In a medium non-stick fry pan on high heat place olive oil and stir fry the onion, capsicum and chorizo for 5 minutes. Add carrot, mushrooms and continue to stir fry until carrots have softened.
3. Add chicken and smoked paprika; continue to stir fry until browned. Add herbs, tomato, water, season with salt and pepper. Simmer for a couple of minutes.
4. Take out puff pastry to thaw, about 5 minutes on the bench. Place your 2 ramekins on the puff pastry. With a sharp knife cut around the ramekin a circle slightly bigger than the dish.
5. Place your chicken mix into each ramekin, run your finger with water over the edge of each and place your pastry on top, pressing down around the edge. Brush a little milk over the pastry for a lovely finish once baked.
6. Place into oven for about 15 minutes or until the pastry has turned golden.
7. Serve with extra vegetables if desired.
