Hot and delicious, this chicken pasty pie recipe takes a classic British dish and turns it into a home-cooked meal that you'll want to devour as soon as it's out of the oven.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter in the skillet.
¼ cup butter
Add the chicken, onion, potatoes, carrots, and some salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about 10 minutes, stirring often.
1 pound chicken breast, 1 medium yellow onion, 2 medium yellow potatoes, 2 medium-size carrots
Let the filling cool for about 30 minutes. Check the seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
Preheat oven to 425°F and position the rack on the bottom.
Place 1 unbaked pie crust into a 9” pie plate. Add the cooled pasty filling. Cover with the 2nd unbaked pie crust and seal the edges. Cut a few slits into the top of the pie crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
2 unbaked pie crusts
Place the pie plate on a metal baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven on the bottom rack for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden.
Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Meat options: Traditionally, Cornish pasties are made with beef, so you could sub that meat in if you prefer it to chicken!
Doubling the recipe: If you're doubling the recipe, don't double the butter amount.
