Serves 1 hungry preschooler :
Filling:
1/2 cooked chicken breast (from a leftover roast), or cook your own.
1 tbls margarine
2 small spring onions, sliced
1/2 medium carrot, cubed smallish, and cooked in water in microwave until soft about 5 mins, drain.
+- 2/3 cup milk
scant tsp chicken stock powder
1 heaped tsp maiziena (cornflour), mixed in a little water.
Pot Pie Dough :
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp celery salt
24g margarine
+- 1 tbls milk
Preheat oven to 190 Degrees Celcius
Filling : Heat the oil in a small saucepan, cook the spring onions and carrots together for 5 mins on medium heat until the onions are softer. Add the milk, stock powder, simmer a couple mins, thicken with the cornflour and add the cooked chicken to warm through. Pour into 10-12cm diameter ovenproof bowl at least 10cm deep.
Dough :Rub the margarine into the dry ingredients, add enough milk to make dough start coming together. Form into a ball with floured hands. With floured hands flatten into a disk that will slightly overlap the edges of the bowl, place on top of filling pinch edges of the dough onto the bowl edges, brush with any remaining pie filling liquid in the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 20 - 25 mins until starting to turn golden.
Feed to sick preshcooler, sneak some spoonfuls into your mouth when nobody's looking.
