Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate the carrot. Thinly slice celery and white and light green parts of leek. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • Cut boneless chicken drumsticks into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken and diced bacon, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a baking dish. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, celery and leek stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes. • Stir through baby spinach until wilted, 1 minute.
• Add garlic paste, Nan's special seasoning, chicken-style stock powder and the plain flour, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the milk and cook, stirring, until reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Transfer veggie filling to the baking dish with the chicken and stir to combine.
TIP: Add a splash of water if chicken mixture looks too thick.
• To a small heatproof bowl, add the butter and microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Brush each sheet of filo pastry with butter. Lightly scrunch sheets of pastry and place on top of the chicken mixture to completely cover. • Sprinkle with sesame seeds (see ingredients).
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the sesame seeds!
• Bake pie until the pastry is golden, 20-25 minutes.
• Divide chicken, bacon and veggie-loaded filo pie between plates. Enjoy!
