Leftover Chicken Pie

Leftover Chicken Pie

There are times when the leftovers can be better than the main event – or at least seemingly so – and a chicken pie must rate as one of the best comfort foods as well as being nutritious! Using leftovers can bring out your creative side – and it is fun to bring together the leftover food – so much better than throwing it away!

Leftover meals can be just as good, if not better than the original meal – and bring out your creative side!

Roast meat can produce a lot of leftovers to work with and can even produce several meals. Make it go further by adding vegetables (leftover or freshly cooked). One of the joys of cooking a roast dinner is knowing there will be plenty for another day.

Chicken Risotto is another easy leftovers recipe

Chicken And Vegetable Pie

For a chicken pie clearly you will need some cooked chicken. But you can use this recipe for any leftover meat such as turkey. You can make individual pies or one big one depending on how much leftovers you have and how many people you are feeding.

Make only enough that will be eaten to avoid any food waste as the general advice is not to reheat cooked chicken more than once.

Your Pie – Just As You Like It

The pies I made were individual chicken pies. The quantities in this recipe are rough for a guide (except the pastry!) you use can use just what you have – or what you fancy! If you have less meat, add a few more vegetables to make up the quantity. I seasoned the pie with some dried tarragon but you can add whatever seasoning you like.

The pie can be made with any leftover pastry you have in the fridge, make some up especially or use ready made pasty. I only use pastry as a topping, not underneath

I make the individual pies using some vintage type pie dishes I found in a charity shop. You can however buy similar ones new like these Traditional Brown Oval Pie Bowls

Serve the pie with some mashed potato, bubble and squeak or any vegetables you like.
