GREGGS has been delighting fans with its GIY (Gregg it yourself) recipes during lockdown.
And now the nation’s favourite bakery has revealed its exact recipe for its famous Greggs Chicken Bake.
Sharing the cooking tutorial on , Greggs let slip the secret ingredients for that have so far remained under wraps.
Captioning the post, Greggs wrote: “You asked for it. And we’re baking it. Well, actually… you’re baking it. Grab your pinny and your pastry, Chicken Bake lovers – it’s your turn to #GreggsItYourself”
The filling is made up of just five ingredients including cream cheese and chicken stock among other things (find full recipe below.)
The filling is all made in one pan and then you simply slice your ready-rolled puff-pastry into squares and then fill before sealing and coating with an egg wash.
Add the Greggs signature crimping around the edges and cut the wavy the lines into the centre using a knife.
Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy!
Greggs fans were seriously grateful for the recipe, with the post receiving almost 1,000 likes from thankful customers.
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.
