  • 1 whole chicken
  • 3 cloves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 4 celery sticks
  • boiling water enough to cover chicken and vegetables
  • 2 tins mixed curry vegetables or 1 large tin
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp butter

For the Pie Crust

  • 125ml oil Olive or cooking oil
  • 125ml milk
  • 200ml flour
  • 1 large egg beaten with a little water

METHOD

Cook the Chicken:

  • Place the chicken in a heavy saucepan with bay leaves, cloves, vinigar, salt pepper, onions, carrots and celery.
  • Brown the chicken in the saucepan over medium heat, then add the boiling water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, cover, and let it simmer for 1½ hours or until the chiken is tender and faling apart.

Prepare the filling:

  • Remove the chicken, discard the skin and bones, and shred the meat with two forks. Set aside
  • In the same pot, bring the broth to a boil and reduce heat so simmer until the vegetables are soft
  • If you prefer a smooth filling, strain the vegetables, otherwise leave them as is.

Make the Gravy:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of the chicken broth with the flour and butter, bring to a boil until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in the mized curry vegetables and shredded chicken.

Assemble the Pie:

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃/350℉
  • Brush a thin layer onto the surface of a ovenproof casserole dish so you don't overdo it or end up with patchy spots from an aerosol non-stick spray.
  • Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the casserole dish.

Prepare the Crust:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, and flour until smooth and slightly runny.
  • Pour this crust mixture over the chicken filling and spread evenly.

Bake:

  • Bake for 15 minutes (or 30 minutes if doubling the recipe) until the crust is golden brown.

Enjoy your chicken pie!
