[HomeCookin’] Curry Chicken and vegetable pot pie. Delicious!

[Pre-Heat] your oven to 375F

[Chop] 3 cloves of garlic, 2 large carrots, 2 large sticks of celery, 1 large onion, 4-5 large mushrooms and a bunch of scallions.

[Mix] 1 large chicken breast chopped into small pieces, 1 tablespoon of EVOO, 1 tablespoon of Sriracha or chilli sauce, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of Curry Powder in a bowl. (I used Keen’s Aussie Curry Powder)

[Saute] garlic and onion in a pot over medium heat. Add celery, carrot and saute until soft. Add mushrooms, scallions and stir in 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon powdered ginger and 1 tablespoon curry powder.
Stir through until softened and then set vegetables aside in a bowl.
ADD a little olive oil to pot and saute chicken for 4-5 mins.
Mix in the veggies and add 1/3 cup chicken stock.
Simmer on low for 10-15 mins to thicken, then stir through 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt. Season to taste with salt and cracked pepper.

[Add] the chicken and vegetable mixture to a pie dish and cover with one sheet of Puff Pastry. Crimp the edges and brush with an egg wash. Season with salt and pepper.

[Bake] in the oven until pastry is puffed and golden brown (about 20 mins). Brush with egg wash half way through for extra golden brown color.
*I placed the Pie dish on top of a cookie tray in case of spills. This is a good tip!

Enjoy the pie and please let me know if you bake this at home!
