BUTTER CHICKEN POT PIES

Makes 2

Hands-on time: 20 minutes

Hands-off time: 30-35 minutes

INGREDIENTS

8 tbsp melted butter

Ā¾ onion, diced

1 cup (250g) SPAR Frozen Mixed Vegetables

3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

1 packet (55g) SPAR Dry Cook-In Sauce Butter Chicken Curry

Ā½ tin (205g) tomato purĆ©e

1 cup (250ml) SPAR Longlife Cream

1 roll (400g) SPAR Puff Pastry, thawed

Serving suggestion: Coriander

Salsa

Chutney

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 200Ā°C on fan-assist.


2. In a large pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and the onions and sautƩ until softened. Add the SPAR Dry Cook-In Sauce Butter Chicken Curry and sautƩ for 1 minute to cook the spices.


3. Add the tomato purĆ©e and Ā½ cup of water to the pan and simmer for 4 minutes. Stir in the SPAR Frozen Mixed Vegetables, shredded chicken, 4 tablespoons of butter and SPAR Longlife Cream and set aside.


4. Carefully roll out the half roll of SPAR Puff Pastry and cut it into two squares, 22cm each.


5. Divide the butter chicken filling equally between the 2 Master Bake Mini Roasting Dishes (16cm), ensuring not to overfill. Place the puff pastry squares over the butter chicken and carefully press the excess pastry around the edge of the roasting dishes.


6. Gently brush the pastry with the remaining melted butter and make an incision in the centre of the dish. *Chef Tip: Making an air vent will help the steam escape and prevent the pastry from tearing!


7. Place the pot pies in the oven and reduce the temperature to 180Ā°C. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked.


8. Carefully remove the individual pot pies from the oven and garnish with coriander. Serve with chutney and salsa and ENJOY!
