Marry Me Chicken Pie

Preheat oven to 180C.

Add olive oil, chopped garlic, diced chicken, garlic powder, Italian herbs, paprika, salt and pepper to a large frying pan. Cook this on a medium to high heat until the chicken is cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

To the same pan, add the chopped onion, tomato puree and sundried tomatoes. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the onions start to soften. Add in the chicken stock and stir well.

Once the sauce is starting to bubble, reduce the heat and add in the double cream and parmesan. Mix well and add the chicken back into the pan along with the chopped basil.

Add the pie filling into an oven safe dish. Unroll the first sheet of pastry and lay this on top of the pie filling, making sure to press the pastry into the edges of the dish. Add a small slit into the centre of the pie for steam to release. Crack the egg and brush the beaten egg over the pastry surface.

Unroll the second sheet of pastry and use the cookie cutter to cut stars out of the pastry. Layer the stars on top of the pastry and brush once again with the egg wash.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the pastry has puffed up. Once baked, leave to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
