Well last night we where in Tesco & I picked up Olive magazine and some corn fed chicken breasts. And it just so happened Olive contained the kind of pie recipe I’ve been craving.

Ingredients

• Chicken breasts
• 8 shallots – 6 whole, 2 sliced
• 100g creme fraiche
• 2 1/2 Tablespoons sherry vinegar – I’d probably use a touch less next time
• 75 ml white wine
• Small bunch chopped tarragon
• 1/2 teaspoon cornflour mixed with 1/2 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Ready rolled puff pastry

How to Do It

1. Heat oil in pan
2. Cut chicken into chunks & brown in heated oil
3. Once brown remove chicken & add all the shallots and cook for 8 minutes
4. Add vinegar & cook until reduced by half
5. Add chicken, wine, creme fraiche, tarragon & cornflour mixture – cook for 5 minutes
6. Add mixture to pie dish & cover with puff pastry (cut to just larger than the pie dish)
7. Cook for 25-30 minutes on 180°c
8. Let pie cool for 5 minutes before serving

Enjoy!
