Chicken Pie

Made these Chicken Pies last week. Using LeeLee’s (hugbear) Chicken Pie Pastry Recipe and Fiona’s Chicken Pie Filling. Thanks for sharing ladies!!!

Combined both recipes together Oh my it taste so heavenly. Though I did some changes I minus the potato and white wine and reduce the stock to ½ cup. Okay my skill wasn’t good so the crust doesn’t look nicely done. The filling seems so dry huh? Weird… there is some gravy in the filling but after baking the Chicken Pie the sauce seems like dries up.



Hmm... wrong move, I had make some of them without the base. Guess that the reason I had some pastry left.

½ cup stock
2 tbsp corn flour mixed with another ½ cup chicken stock
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
1. For the crust. Pull all the ingredients into the mixing bowl except yogurt, and mix into a crumble. Add in yogurt and mix to a dough. Dough will be very soft so need to keep it refrigerated for at least 30 minutes.
2. For the filling. Boil potato and carrot until semi cooked. Add in frozen green peas, and continue to boil for another 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat about 2 tbsp of oil in wok and fry diced onion until transparent. Add chicken meat and mushroom, fry for a while to break up chicken. Add in boiled vegetable in Step 2, first ½ cup chicken stock, heavy cream and white wine. Stir-fry for a few minutes.
4. Add in the remaining chicken stock with corn flour mixture. Stir until the sauce has thickened. Set aside for later use.

Bread Pudding II

I know DH wasn’t happy since I met "him" on the Saturday night. So I baked DH’s favorites Bread Pudding to cheer him up. Hmmm.... But who’s going to cheer me when I’m not happy? Sigh~~~




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOVEMBER 02, 2005, 05:38pm.

Made Bread Pudding again which DH requested for. After the first Bread Pudding he had been bugging me for the 2nd Bread Pudding. Okay time to grant what he asked for, cause usually he wont make such request.

I had increase the previously recipe. I guess I had over stuff my 7” inch spring form pan with 10 slices of whole meal bread, 3 eggs and 500ml of milk! And the whole Bread Pudding got over-flow the pan and the base is leaking! Perhaps I shouldn’t have use spring form pan in the beginning. Plus I forgotten to remove the bread crust it might looks burn but it wasn’t, in fact the crust turns “Crispy”.

I went to Eve’s blog, hers Bread Pudding was so nicely baked and nicely remove from the pan. *Envy* Alas, she doesn’t quite fancy about it. LOL
