Chicken & Asparagus Pot Pies
Prep time:
Cook time:
Chicken and asparagus pot pies are creamy piping hot loveliness. As well as a large bunch of asparagus and two chicken breasts, this pie also contains carrot, celery and leek, so it’s fair to say that it’s packed full of veggie goodness. Using Kallo Very Low Salt stock cubes will help you reduce the salt content of this meal too. Warm and comforting, chicken pies are some of the most popular pies in the UK. This is partly because they make a great base for adding other tasty ingredients. A hearty midweek dinner you can pair with seasonal veg and mashed potato.

Ingredients
- 1 Cube Chicken Stock cube or pot, (dissolved in 500ml of boiling water)
- 1 drizzle olive oil
- 1 Small knob of butter
- 1 carrot, (finely diced)
- 1 celery stick, (finely diced)
- 1 leek, (finely diced)
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 2 chicken breasts, (chopped into small pieces)
- 100ml double cream
- 1 large bunch of asparagus, (ends removed)
- 1 ready rolled puff pastry
- 1 egg, (beaten)
- 1 mash or seasonal vegetables
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Step 2
Heat a large casserole style dish on a medium heat and add a splash of oil along with the butter. Once the butter starts to bubble, add the carrot, celery, leek and thyme and cook, stirring continuously, for 10 minutes until soft but not coloured.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces and cook for another 10 minutes.
Step 4
Add the Kallo organic chicken stock, pour it over the mixture and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Step 5
Simmer for 15 minutes with a lid on until the chicken is cooked through, then take the dish off the heat and stir in the double cream and asparagus.
Step 6
Season the pie mixture with salt and pepper, then divide into 4 individual pie dishes or oven proof mugs.
Step 7
Cut out 4 pastry discs big enough to cover your pie dishes and place over the tops, pressing down around the rims. Glaze the top with some beaten egg and place in the oven for 25 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.
Step 8
Serve with mashed potato or seasonal vegetables
