How to make curried chicken pot pie

  1. Cook the chicken: Season chicken breasts with Garam Masala and salt. Fry in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes per side. I prefer to under-cook them just slightly as they will continue cooking during baking. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside to rest.
  2. Make the filling: In the same pan, add a splash of oil and cook the onion, celery and carrot until soft and lightly golden. Add the garlic and spices and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, stir to coat the vegetables then pour in the stock and cream. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook until thickened. Cube the chicken and stir into the sauce with the lemon juice then season to taste.
  3. Top with pastry and bake: Top the pie with thawed puff pastry. Brush with beaten egg then place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and serve.

Can I make this ahead?

The filling can be made and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Simply cover with the pastry and bake. If you’d like to freeze this curried chicken pot pie, assemble but don’t brush with egg. Cover with a layer of parchment paper then wrap in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen until hot and bubbling.

    I’ve got leftover chicken curry I was going to have with a baked potato…but I might get some puff pastry and do this. It sounds too easy! Maybe I should push the boat out and make my own pastry.

    Hi, you ask for Garam Masala twice in the ingredients. It is 3 tbsp in total. Is that correct?

      Yes, that’s correct. Some for the seasoning of the chicken and some for the sauce.
