Hello! This week I started my diet again after a long break from it! The other night I was really craving a nice hearty meal after a busy day at work, so I decided to make this delicious chicken and mushroom pie! With only 550 calories for half the pie, this is a great meal to make when you need a bit of extra fuel!
Ingredients:
1 leek, chopped thinly
150g button mushrooms, sliced
75g peas (frozen is fine)
2 rashers smoked bacon, cut into small squares
2 roast chicken breasts, tear into medium sized pieces
500ml chicken stock
25g plain flour
2tbsp reduced fat creme fraiche
3 sheets filo pastry
Method:
-Pre heat your oven to 220 degrees celcius.
- Heat a small amount of sunflower oil in a frying pan and add the bacon and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the leaks and chicken, cook for a further 1 minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture then add the chicken stock slowly whilst stirring.
- Add the peas to the frying pan and simmer for 4 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium sized pie dish.
- Roughly place the filo pastry sheets over the mixture (the more crinkles the better), making sure to oil each sheet with a pastry brush as you go.
- Put the pie in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes until your pastry is golden and crispy!
Voila! Your pie is ready to serve and enjoy!
This does make quite a large amount so feel free to make it for 4 people and have some sides!
Let me know if you decide to make it! I'd love to see your results!
