Ready made puff pastry and deli-cooked chicken makes this pie a breeze to prepare but tastes like you’ve been slaving away for hours!
Ingredients (Serves: 4)
• 1 roll puff pastry, thawed completely
• 50 ml olive and rosemary pesto
• 500 ml cooked chicken, cubed (from a SPAR Deli counter)
• 125g SPAR lean back bacon, cooked and chopped
• ½ a can SPAR Salad Cut asparagus, very well drained
• 1 pouch SPAR cheese sauce (200 g)
• 1/3 each small, assorted colour peppers, sliced in thin strips
• A little SPAR milk to brush over pastry
Method:
• Preheat oven to 210ºC. Lightly grease a large baking tin.
• Unroll the pastry onto a prepared baking tin. Press or roll out further all round to increase its overall size slightly.
• Spread the pesto evenly across the pastry.
• Combine the chicken, bacon, asparagus and sauce in a bowl. Spoon this mixture lengthwise down the centre of the pastry. Arrange pepper strips over.
• Close the parcel in the same way you would when wrapping a sandwich.
• Brush over lightly with milk, and bake immediately for 25 minutes until puffy and golden.
Hints and Tips:
• Try the SPAR pepper sauce if you enjoy spicy meals.
• Children may tend to prefer that the asparagus be substituted with canned lentils or butter beans.
