Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/ gas 7. Fry the bacon in a non-stick pan over a medium heat for a few mins, until it starts to release its fat. Add the potato, turn up the heat and fry for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the potato just underdone. Add the chilli and cook for a further min. Season generously with black pepper, plus salt to taste.

  • step 2

    Tip into a bowl and mix with the shredded chicken and spring onions. Unroll the pastry and, with a rolling pin, roll out until it's large enough to cut out 4 circles of pastry, using a large saucer or a side plate as a guide, discarding the trimmings. Lift onto a baking sheet.

  • step 3

    Spoon the filling into the middle of each circle. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little milk, then bring them up to the middle, pinching at the top to make a pasty. Brush with a little milk, then bake for 15 mins or until golden.

RECIPE TIPS
GETTING IT RIGHT WITH PASTRY

Fresh puff pastry from the chiller cabinet can be frozen, but pastry that has been pre-frozen should never be returned to the freezer.

Loved these, I made a cheese sauce (quick roux, cheddar and s&p) and mixed this in with the filling and added some garlic . Gorgeous. Made for a long trip and they were loved by all. Wish I had made double! I will be sneaking in some peas and spinach next time for my toddler as he inhaled his…

I agree. they were dry. I only wish I had read the other comments first instead of just the recipe. The two comments regarding either a soup, or philladelphia cheese sound nice. Or maybe just add mango chutney as you would in coronation chicken.

These were so easy to make, and tasty. I didn't find mine too dry at all, but perhaps that comes down to personal preference...? They cooked perfectly in 15 minutes on fan bake. Not too spicy, maybe next time would add an extra chilli. A nice mango chutney on the side would be a tasty addition.

I really liked these. I added chorizo, partly cos I had some left over and partly because of the comments about the mixture being dry and I thought the extra fat would help. They were lovely - and moist.

I also had read the comments about them being a little dry so I added half a small tub of philladelphia cream cheese. The only criticism I got was why hadn't i made more!!!! Lovely and moist and the chilli gives a nice kick!
