Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6 and boil a kettle, then peel and slice the brown onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 6-7 min or until softened
2
While the onion is cooking, cut the chicken breast[s] into large, bite-sized pieces
Strip the thyme leaves and chop finely, discarding the stems
Dissolve 1/2 [1]Knorrchicken stock cube in 150ml [250ml]boiled water
3
Line a separate baking tray with non-stick baking paper
Unwrap the puff pastry and cut it into 2 [4] squares
Score a 1cm border around the edge of the pastry with a knife
Crimp the borders with a fork and put the tray in the oven for 15-20 min or until puffed up and golden – these are your pie lids
4
Once the onion has softened, add the chopped chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 mins further or until starting to brown
Add 1 tsp [2 tsp]flour with the Chinese rice wine, chicken stock, Dijon mustard and soft cheese and cook for 8-10 min further or until the sauce has thickened
Once thickened, stir through the ham hock and chopped thyme – this is your creamy chicken & ham hock filling
5
Meanwhile, peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces
Peel the garlic cloves
Add the potatoes and garlic to a pot of boiled water with a pinch of salt over a high heat and cook for 15 min or until fork-tender
Once done, drain and set aside to steam dry
Boil a kettle
6
Once the potatoes have been boiling for 10 min, add the Tenderstem broccoli and asparagus spears to a pot of boiling water and cook for 4-5 min or until tender with a slight bite
Drain and set aside until serving
7
Return the drained potatoes and garlic to a low heat and add a splash of milk and a large knob of butter
Mash until smooth, then season generously with salt – this is your garlic mash
