The quantities I will share here feed our family of nine (5 adult serves, 4 child serves)
1x 2kg chicken roasted
4 cups of chopped broccoli
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
1 capsicum
1 1/3 cups of cream
5 tsp cornflour
2 tsp chicken stock
pepper
2 cups of cheese
pastry - 75 grams butter, 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/3 cup water (make 3 lots of this)
- Remove all the meat from the chicken bones and place aside to cool.
- Put the vegetables in a pot with a small amount of water to steam until bright in colour but still firm.
- Mix the chicken stock, pepper, and cornflour with a little bit of the cream to form a paste. Then add the rest of the cream and mix well. Tip over the cooled chicken.
- Drain the water from the vegetables and allow them to cool.
- Add them to the chicken and cream mixing well to combine. Put the mixture in the fridge for a few hours.
- Make the pastry. Roll out thin and cut into long triangle shapes. We used 16.
- Lay 8 triangles in a circle with the tips pointing out of the circle. Fill with the chicken/vegetable filling and cheese. Fold the tips over the filling and tuck under the base. There will be some filling showing, this is ok.
- Brush the pastry with egg or milk.
- Bake at 180 degrees C for 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
- Serve
We had ours with stuffing (from the chicken) and coleslaw.
