Chicken pie with a carrot thatch
Ingredients
1 large carrot or 2 small
1 large potato or 2 small
2 tbsp butter , melted
1 slice cooked ham
3 chicken breast fillets
3 tbsp frozen peas , defrosted
4 tbsp double cream
Method
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan, then boil the carrot and potato whole for 5 minutes, then put them in a bowl of cold water to cool down. When cold, peel them carefully.
Grate the carrot and potato (cut them into chunks first if you are using a rotary grater).
Put the grated carrot and potato in a large bowl, add the melted butter and mix it all together.
Cut the ham into small pieces using scissors or a small knife, then cut the chicken into pieces.
Put the chicken and ham in a pie dish with the peas and cream and give everything a stir.
Spoon the carrot thatch onto the pie and put in the oven for 50 minutes or until the chicken and topping are cooked through.
Um... it was interesting. Had a very strange consistency and felt lack it was lacking something, I just don't know what. It was nice enough and my plate was clear but I wouldn't make it again.
I liked the topping, however, and will be trying it on a cottage pie one day.
