Recipe: Honey mustard chicken pie

August 29, 2015 by Shari

The other day, on facebook, I asked you if you had any freezer favourites. And then I shared one of my favourite freezer meals – this delicious honey mustard chicken pie. The recipe makes 3 pies. We normally eat one of the pies straight away and then place two in the freezer {for nights when the sh*t hits the fan and I am unable to do anything in the kitchen}.

You know, those crazy days/afternoons when nothing seems to go to plan – multiple nappies might need changing, your little one doesn’t want to be put down, your toddler somehow manages to wet his entire outfit and needs changing…there is no way you have time to prep dinner, so just pop this pie into the oven.

I normally serve this pie with a cheesy mash potato. But you know you could even whack some store bought frozen chips in the oven if you were having a rough day {no one is judging you}.

 

Honey Mustard Chicken Pie by GoodFoodWeek

 

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN PIE

800 grams of chicken thighs

2 brown onions

½ bunch of celery

2-3 medium carrots

¼ head of broccoli

¼ head of cauliflower

1 cup of frozen peas

¼ cup of seeded mustard

½ cup of honey

1 liter of chicken stock

1 tbsp of cornflour

6 sheets of puff pastry

3 tbsp of sesame seeds

olive oil

Dice all your veggies to approximately the same size. Slice your chicken thighs into strips. Brown off the chicken and onions in a little olive oil in a really big saucepan {this quantity makes 3 pies}.

Add the celery, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower – toss for approximately 2-3 minutes before adding the seeded mustard, honey and stock. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.

Boil the kettle and mix 1 tbsp of boiling water with the cornflour. Add this to the simmering pie filling to thicken the stock and make more of a gravy. Once the mixture has thicken slightly remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Line your pie dishes with a little baking paper and then the puff pastry. Add the chicken filling to the pastry, then cover with a pastry top, brush with a little oil and then sprinkle with sesame seeds {I like to mark all my chicken pies with sesame seeds so I know what they are once they have been frozen}.

You can then bake for approximately 30 minutes at 180 degrees or cover with foil and freeze to have at a later date. {I remove my pie from the freezer the night before we want to eat it. I allow it to defrost in the fridge and it normally takes 30-45 minutes at 180 degrees to be cooked through}.

Do you make your own pies? Do you have some great freezer friendly meals that you’d like to share? Remember that if you whip this recipe up, snap a photo and upload to instagram with the hashtag #GoodFoodWeek.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new foll Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new followers of late. I wonder if you’re here because of my reels?? (And if so, you’ll probably also want to follow @smallbusinessgrowthclub )

If you are new… here is a little intro… I’m Shari - a mum of four small boys (although their little hands seem to be getting better and bigger). They are nine, seven, five and three.

I whip up quick and easy meals for my family. I currently work full time and so the content juggle is real 😩

But the thing is, I actually also have a blog - www.GoodFoodWeek.com.au - so you can drop by there for some of my tried and tested favourites. I’m fact, this Spanish beef is one of the most viewed recipes on the blog!

And if you aren’t new - I’d love to hear what are some of your favourite recipes from my blog.

I feel like the boys have had an overload of chocolate and I want to take it back to healthier alternatives… 

But in our household, I feel like everyone goes through stages. One week they’ll eat all the bananas in one day, so the following week I’ll order 3kgs instead of 1kg and no one will eat banana 🤦🏼‍♀️

I mean, I freeze them for smoothies or make banana bread so they don’t go to waste. 

But I’m keen to hear what snacks are popular in your household at the moment?

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
