Ingredients
  • 500g/17.6oz Chicken Breast
  • ½ Red Bell Pepper
  • 5 Frozen Broccoli florets (thawed and strained)
  • 1 Tsp Chicken seasoning (see note)
  • 1 Tsp Dill
  • 1 Clove Garlic (minced)
  • 125g/4.4oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ Cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Rectangular Shortcrust Pastry Sheets
  • Beaten Egg (for eggwash)
  • Sesame Seeds (for sprinkling)
Method
    Pie Filling:

  1. Place the chicken breast in a pan fully covered with water. 

  2. Simmer covered for 45 minutes.

  3. Once ready, turn off heat and let the chicken rest and cool in the water until you can pick it by hand. (cooking the chicken this way makes it moist and tender)

  4. Roughly chop the chicken and set aside.

  5. In a food processor, finely chop the bell pepper and broccoli and transfer to a large bowl. Add the chicken, finely chop and add to the veggies bowl. 

  6. Stir in the garlic, seasonings, cheddar cheese and bind together with the mayonnaise.

    7. Assemble Ring:

  7. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. 

  8. Prepare a large round baking tray with baking paper. 

  9. Place a small bowl in the center. This will help you make a perfect circle in the middle. 

  10. Cut out 12 triangles from the 2 pastry sheets; Cut each sheet into 3 equal parts in width then cut each part into 2 triangles. Each sheet will give you 6 triangles. 

  11. Lay the cut triangular pastry around the bowl slightly overlapping each other as you go all the way around.

  12. Trim the points of the triangles so you won't have too much pastry to tuck underneath as you turn them over. 

  13. Remove the bowl and spoon the filling evenly onto the pastry.

  14. Lift over the pastry and tuck it underneath in the center.

  15. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. 

  16. Bake in oven for about 45-60 minutes, till pastry is cooked and golden. 

  17. Enjoy!

Note

  • Chicken seasoning is a blend of spices; paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, chilli, sage and parsley.
