1 tbsp butter
½ onion, finely sliced
4 bacon rashers, chopped
1 chicken breast, skin removed, cut into pieces
100g/3½oz frozen peas
3 tbsp double cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
225g/8oz ready-made puff pastry
flour, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Heat the butter in a pan and gently fry the onion until softened but not coloured.
Add the bacon and fry until golden-brown.
Add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly cooked on all sides.
Add the peas and double cream, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Pour the mixture into an ovenproof dish.
Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface and cut the pastry to fit over the top of the dish. Cover the chicken mixture with the pastry and cut a steam hole in the centre.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown and the chicken is completely cooked through.
To serve, place servings of the pie onto plates.
