Creamy chicken pie recipe (found this is my old phone I think I wrote it up 3 years ago)

Creamy Chicken Pie: For when you want meat in your gob

You will need

One pie holder. Wok Pan, or a big pan you can cook meat in. Some veg. Mushrooms are nice. Just Roll shortcrust sheet. Fairly easy to make but its a hassle if you're in a hurry to feed ravenous monsters that befuddle the mind and destroy the fabric of your tablecloth Single Cream. Chicken. Cut into rough bitesized cubes. Some onions. Some liquid stock, lots of water per unit stock. Chicken stock for obvious reasons but it's fairly simple to make a basic chicken stock from bones and water. Might be worth picking up a copy of Practical Cookery if you're unsure how to do this. An egg. An egg brush thing for the glaze

1. Fry your onions.

2. Chuck the chicken in, keeping heat going

3. When the chicken starts going edible looking, pour in the veg. (note: if you have too much chicken and veg, you can divert some from the pan to make your lunch around now. Works well with El Paso rice mix.)

4. Pour in some of the stock.

5. Cook. The stock will be reduced as time goes, giving a thick sauce.

6. Add in some single cream. Stir throughout, it will look right proper lush after a bit.

7. Make sure your shortcrust sheet is a bit warm. If it's still cold, cover your pie filling and warm your shortcrust. It'll stay warm if you leave it in a non-active oven for at least an hour, probably.

8. When shorcrust is ready, check it fits over your pie holder. If not, roll it out a few inches.

9. Slowly put pie filling in. Do not eat yet, we are civilised people who eat finished products and absolutely did not get nauseous eating raw biscuit mix last week.

10. Carefully. Put. The Shortcrust. On. Top.

11. Use any overlap for decoration or throw it away.

12. Slap some whisked egg onto the shortcrust, This will make it shiny. Use the brush or your finely groomed moustache for this.

13. Cook until shortcrust is going brown in bits.

14. If teatime, DEVOUR YOUR CREATION WITH THE HUNGER OF A THOUSAND WORLDS

Or if not, cover it with a tea towel and reheat it when it is time. You can reheat it ONCE. chicken is dangerous to reheat more than once afaik.

1. Challenge your foes to make a better pie than this. Worst case scenario, you get a tastier pie which you can then eat, so win win.

(I wrote this while going through a bad breakup. I think I was after comfort food so ate a lot of pie. One thing this recipe forgets is to use a pie dish of some sort, I think the particular pie I made was served in the pan with only pastry on top, none on the sides or bottom. Thought somebody would find it entertaining, if you have any advice to fix this likely flawed recipe, let me know, I wanna make it again)
