Chicken Pie

1 chicken with skin in four pieces

5 med onions

5 large carrots

8 peppercorns

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 med tubs of fresh double cream

1 tbsp corn flour

2 tbsp oil

1 beaten egg

1 tin sliced mushrooms or fresh button mushrooms

puff pastry about 2 packs enough to cover your dish

In a large pot fill about 2 pints water and add the chicken, peppercorns, 2 carrots cut in half, 1 tsp salt and 2 whole onions and bring to boil until chicken is cooked, this will be your stock. Once this is cooked drain the stock and keep aside, shred the chicken off the bone so it becomes boneless now.

In a separate pan fry the remaining onions sliced in the oil until light brown. Add the chicken, sliced carrots, mushrooms, black pepper and cook for a few min then add the fresh cream. Only using half the stock add the corn flour to one of the halves and add to the chicken and mix well and cook, if you think the mixture is too thick then ad some more stock, it's up to you. Pour the mixture into your oven dish.

|Roll out your pastry if not already rolled, cut four 1 cm strips and press it down onto the rim of the dish then cover the dish with the remaining pastry, brush with egg and bake in the oven for 1 hour and enjoy with chips.

Sorry the picture is not perfect but i wanted you to see the mixture inside.
