Winter time: chicken pie

#easyfoodcreations #healthyeating #chickenpie

Here is an easy chicken pie with one of my top secret ingredients - Boursin Cheese. I often use Boursin if I need a quick sauce for some veggies and pasta. Minimal effort, maximum taste!
Unprocessed goat cheese works well as an alternative. 

Ingredients:
5 chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
1 medium carrot, grated
6 small potatoes with skin on, cut into small pieces
0.5c peas
1tbsp dried thyme
1 garlic Boursin (or you can use goat cheese with pressed garlic)
2tbsp butter

Crust:
1.5c all purpose flour
8tbsp butter, cut into smaller chunks
5-6tbsp ice cold water

1. Preheat the oven to 220c.
2. To make crust, put all ingredients in the processor and pulse until it start sticking together. Divide into two. Roll one part, fill the pie dish. Place in the fridge for 30 min or so. Roll the other part and place in the fridge.
3.  Melt the butter, add chicken and vegetables. Cook for about 20 minutes. Add Boursin, still well until melted. Cook for another 10 minutes.
4. Take the pie crust out if the fridge. Add the chicken filling. Prepare the top layer of pie crust with your own designs.
5. Bake for 40-50 minutes.
6. Serve warm. Enjoy!
