A looooong time ago now – back when my niece was born I helped out the new parents (sis and bro-in-law) by batch cooking them food for a week or so to store in their freezer. I knew with a new baby in the house, the last thing they’d be thinking about is cooking, so I thought it a nice gift from us to do this for them. I had a day in the kitchen cooking up a storm, and I really had meant to start batch cooking more often, but nope, not done it yet!

Among other dishes, I made this super easy chicken pie…one went into the oven the day I made it, the other, cooled, frozen and then later defrosted and cooked through for another meal. I made one for us too and can say, not only was it super easy to make, but it was super tasty – I love a pie!

It’s hard to say how much this pie would feed, since I just split it up into several smaller dishes – just tweak the quantities to suit your family.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • sliced mushrooms
  • canned or fresh vegetables - I used peas carrots and green beans
  • ready rolled puff or shortcrust pastry
  • beaten egg or milk to brush on the pastry

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together the chicken and vegetables and pour over the soup. As it's condensed it is very thick and makes a great sauce. I didn't feel that extra seasoning was necessary.
  • Divide the mixture between ovenproof dishes (or in one big dish if you prefer, in which case, to save washing up, just ditch mixing the filling together in a bowl!)
  • Lay the pastry over the top and brush with a little beaten egg or milk - if you are cooking straight away.
  • Cook in a 180-200C oven until piping hot and the pastry is golden.
  • If you are freezing this, allow to cool and cover before placing in the freezer. Defrost overnight before cooking as above.
