| Recipe Tips: |
If cooking one pie, reduce cooking time to 9-10 minutes.
This recipe is ideal for busy families, prepare filling in advance and chill until required. Place cold filling into dishes, top with pastry and bake. Dinner will be ready in 15 minutes!
Turn family left overs into a fresh new meal by using as a filling for delicious pies. Replace the chicken filling with left over chilli con carne, meat sauce, casseroles or curries.
To cook in your Neff oven, preheat oven on CircoTherm setting to 200°C, using rapid heat function. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until pastry is crisp and golden and filling is heated through. |
