Servings: 4 people
Equipment
- 1 Frying pan
- 1 Pie plate (22~24 cm diameter)
Ingredients
- 400 gram Chicken breast
- a pinch of Salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Finely chopped garlic
- 1½~2 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili paste / sauce
- 200~250 gram Preserved cherry in light syrup (well drained)
- 40~50 gram Preserved stem ginger (drained and chopped)
- 200 gram Crème fraiche
- 270~300 gram Frozen pie crust
- 2 tablespoon Bread crumbs
- 50~60 gram Grated cheese
- 1 teaspoon Butter for pie plate
- An appropriate amount of Flour to roll out pie crust
Instructions
- Drain the cherries and chop the ginger. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add chicken and fry until chicken becomes whitish and browned.
- Add garlic and curry powder and fry. Then add ginger, cherries, chili sauce and crème fraîche and mix. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes over low heat and remove from heat, and cool to room temperature(it will take about 30 min. or so). Preheat the oven to 200 C = 392Fdegrees. Lightly butter a pie plate.
- While cooling down the filling, place the frozen pie crust on the counter for about 10-15 minutes to defrost until it is soft enough to roll out, depending on the size and thickness. Dust a work surface with flour and roll out 2/3 of the pie crust to a size larger (26-28cm) than the pie plate. Place the pie crust on the pie plate. Then sprinkle bread crumbs on the crust bottom evenly.
- Spread the filling over the crumbs and sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Roll out the 1/3 remaining of the pie crust to about the size of a pie plate. Place this over the filling and fold the first placed pie crust inwards.Brush the surface with milk and bake in a 200C =392F degree oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
