Recipe: Chicken and potato pie

Forget about your diet and revel in the indulgent glory of this warm and filling chicken and potato pie. It is comfort food at its best — quick, easy and very very cheesy!

Ingredients:



Method

•  Melt the butter in a frying pan and add flour. Cook the flour until it becomes light brown in colour.

•  Pour milk into the pan and stir continuously to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to boil for one minute.

•  In a bowl, mix some cornflour with water and pour it into the boiling milk. Let the mixture cook until it thickens.

•  Turn off the flame and add salt and pepper to taste. Your white sauce is now ready.

•  Marinate the chicken in salt, pepper, soy sauce, oil and vinegar for 30 minutes and fry it until it becomes soft and light brown.

•  Line the bottom of a large baking dish with mashed potatoes and press them down to form a thick layer. This will be the base of the pie.

•  Place the chicken over the potatoes and follow it up with the boiled macaroni.

•  Sprinkle salt on the macaroni and place the sliced boiled eggs on top.

•  Cover the layers by pouring the white sauce over the dish.

•  Decorate the top of the pie with some shredded cheese and bake the dish until it melts completely.

•  Serve fresh out of the oven with a side of garlic bread. Your pie is now ready!
