Winter just wouldn't be complete if I didn't make at least one pot pie, lately I tend to shy away from them because normally they're not the most healthy thing to eat, but this version is not only portion controlled but instead of being filled with a creamy sauce is made with eggs to be like a chicken/vegetable omelette and yes, there's a piece of puff pastry on top but it was cut out with a small cookie cutter, so how bad can that be?
What you need:
1. Previously cut up and roasted chicken breast, I seasoned mine with a drizzle of olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.
2. Two previously cut up and roasted sweet potatoes that were drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper.
3. A huge handful of fresh spinach, coarsely chopped.
4. Garlic and fresh thyme.
5. Four eggs.
6. Grated Parmesan cheese (amount depends on how cheesy you want your pies).
7. Puff pastry sheet defrosted, and shapes cut out with a cookie cutter.
What to do:
In a bowl mix together the pre-cooked chicken breast, sweet potato , spinach, garlic, fresh thyme
Break eggs into a bowl, add a few tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese and whisk lightly.
Scoop spoonfuls of chicken mix into lightly greased ramekins, pour egg mix over and place your puff pastry cut out on top of filling, (brush a little milk or any remaining egg mix on top to help get it golden brown).
Bake in a 150C. oven untill brown, bubbly and egg mixture cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
This recipe filled three 5" ramekins, and I only used one large chicken breast for all three.
Enjoy!
