Chicken and Broccoli Pie image

A lovely warming pie. The stock in the sauce makes it very tasty. I normally serve this with sliced french beans on the side. Always goes down well.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 chicken fillets
440 g broccoli
8 medium potatoes, peeled
75 g butter
150 ml milk
3 tablespoons flour
150 ml milk
salt and pepper
50 g cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until tender and mash- add butter/milk/salt pepper to taste.
  • Poach the chicken in 1.5 pints of water for about 15 minutes Remove from the poaching liquid- this stock must be kept for the sauce. Cut the chicken into bite sized chunks and distribute around the bottom of a large oven dish.
  • Steam the broccoli until tender, break into small florets and drain. Pour cold water over it to keep it green. Place in the oven dish with the chicken.
  • Now for the sauce- melt the butter and cook with the flour for about 1 minute then add the poaching liquid and stir until the sauce thickens. At this point add the cream and season to your taste with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli and top with the mashed potato. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
  • Put in a pre-heated oven, about 180C for 20-25 mintes and hey presto!
