Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp medium curry powder
3 Tbsp mango chutney
1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
1/2 cup sour cream
pat of butter
1 box puff pastry
flour, for dusting
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp sliced almonds

Steps:

Heat the oil in a skillet. Cook the onion in the oil until soft, about 5 minutes, then stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute more. Scrape into a mixing bowl and stir in the mango chutney, followed by the chicken and sour cream, then season. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut strips of baking parchment and grease one side with a little butter to help them stay in place. Criss-cross 2 into each hole of a mini muffin tin so the edges of the strips stick out - this will help you remove the pies easily once cooked. Thinly roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface. Stamp out circles big enough to line the holes generously, with a little pastry overhang at the top for sealing. Divide the chicken filling between the pies. Cut out lids from remaining rolled pastry. Top each pie with a pastry lid, press together the edges to seal and roll down any excess pastry to make a lipped-edge. Brush the tops with beaten egg and scatter with almonds. Poke a fork in each to let the steam out while they cook and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
