PAG's Chicken and Vegetable Pie

[PAG]

Had a chicken breast and some vegetables that I wanted to use up, so opted for a large pie. Vegetables are onion, carrot, broccoli and peas.



Made up the pastry first of all, then wrapped and put in the fridge for a couple of hours. Meanwhile got on with the filling. Started by sauteing the onion in some butter.



Then added some grated garlic and the carrots.



Crumbled a stock cube over it and added a glass of (cooking) white wine. Let that reduce down before adding a spoon of flour, mixed it in and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Then gradually added some warm milk to make a sauce, added the rest of the vegetables and the chicken which I'd cooked seperately. Brought to the boil and let simmering for a few minutes.



Put to one side whilst I sorted out the pastry.





Glazed with some milk and ready for the oven.



There you have it. That will keep me going through the weekend.

Looks great. Why milk and not a beaten egg for the glaze?

Just a variation, no particular reason. Forgot the bit about adding some mustard, grated nutmeg, and fresh thyme into the milk before bringing to the boil.
