Red Pepper Pie


Serves 4

1 Red Bell Pepper, deseeded & chopped
200g Broccoli, roughly chopped with stalks
1 lrg brown onion, sliced
3 chicken breasts, sliced
4 tbsp cream cheese
Handful fresh chopped chives
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, defrosted
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & Pepper


Very simple dish

Pre heat oven to 180C/356F

Heat oil in a pan and brown the chicken

Add the onion. Using a wooden spatula, scrape the pan to loosen any chicken bits. This adds flavour

Add red pepper & broccoli. If using frozen broccoli insure it is defrosted first

Season with sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Once chicken is cooked, move all to a baking dish

In a small bowl gently mix the cream cheese and chives to combine

Spread the cream cheese over the top of the baking dish. There is no strict way to do this. You can add it in lumps too

Cover with the sheet of pastry and trim to fit

Pierce the pastry several times with a fork

You can brush the top with milk or egg to glaze (optional)

Bake until the pastry is cooked.

Around 20mins
