Ingredients

Pie Mixture

  • 2 chicken breasts (I used rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 large celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 tsp chilli flakes, to taste
  • 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 2-3 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup vodka
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • Parsley, chopped

Other

  • 1-2 puff pastries, cut into squares
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200C/400F.
  • In a pan over medium heat, add in the butter and saute your onion, carrot, celery and garlic until softened. Add in the chilli flakes, smoked paprika and saute for another minute. Add in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the vodka and let it simmer for 2 minutes to dissipate the sharp alcohol flavour.
  • Sprinkle over the flour and cook out the flour taste, should take 1-2 minutes. Slowly add in the stock while stirring then add in the heavy cream. Simmer until desired thickness is achieved, adjust consistency to your liking.
  • Fold in the shredded chicken, parmesan and parsley. Transfer the mixture into a skillet and top with puff pastry squares. Brush the pastry with a beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
