Healthy Cooking – Chicken & Vegetable Pie

September 22009

If you cook this into a pie with pastry, pre-heat your oven to 200C or 400F (or whatever the pastry manufacturer recommends, if it’s store bought) and cook till the pastry browns which would be around 20-30mins.

If you don’t want to use pastry you can serve it on rice, couscous or place the filling into a pie dish and top with mashed potatoes and a sprinkling of cheese. Enjoy!
