Greggs Chicken Bake recipe
Ingredients
- Small chunks of chicken
- Oil for frying
- Chicken stock
- Cornflour mixed with water
- Double cream
- Cream cheese
- Puff pastry
- An egg
Method
Slice the chicken into small pieces and fry in an oil of your choice until just cooked.
Add your chicken stock to the pan and bring to a simmer. Thicken the mixture slightly with your cornflour and water mix.
Add the double cream followed by the cream cheese to make it “extra tasty.” Season to taste and leave to cool.
You’ll need to cut two rectangular pieces of puff pastry - Greggs advises these should be 108mm x 94mm, if you want to be precise.
Egg wash the edges and spoon your filling into the centre before placing another pastry rectangle on top.
Crimp the edges to seal them in place and use a knife to create waves in the centre of the pastry. Egg wash the entire pastry.
Bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees or until golden brown and piping hot.
