Chicken Pie & Minestrone Soup

Today we have chicken pie and minestrone soup for lunch. As we cannot manage to get the ready made frozen puff pastry, Snow White made the pie crust using plain flour, egg and butter. The top is then covered with mashed potatos. To be exact it more like shepherd's pie with chicken pie fillings. Rapunzel fried the fillings according to this recipe:

Ingredient:
-Chicken (cubed, marinated with soy sauce, pepper & salt)
-Onion (cubed)
-Frozen vegetables mix (green peas, carrots & corns)
-Celery
-Eggs (hard boiled and quartered)

Instruction :
-Fried garlic & onion.
-Stirred in chicken cube and mixed vegetables and celery till cooked.
-Add oyster sauce, chicken stock, soy sauce, salt and large amount of pepper.
-Scoop fillings into the pastry mould, add eggs and cover with mashed potatoes.
-Oven baked till potatoes turn golden brown.

For the mashed potatoes; boiled the potatoes till soft then stir in melted butter, milk, salt and pepper. Lastly beat an egg and added inside the mashed potatoes.


The soup is from the can, the campbell's minestrone soup.

The filling is tasty but the pie crust turn out to be a failure. It taste just like a salty tart. Next time will be better.
