Repurpose your meat from the chicken wing soup to create a tasty supper dish.Method:

  • Pre-heat oven to 180°C fan.
  • Sauté the leeks and mushrooms in 25ml of vegetable oil until soft and tip into your pie dish.
  • Heat the chicken soup until simmering.

  • Melt the margarine in a medium pan and add the flour to make a roux.
  • Cook gently for approximately 2-3 minutes and then gradually whisk in the hot chicken soup and the wine (if using) to make a thick sauce.
  • Stir in the mustard and the tarragon leaves or parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the chicken to the pie dish then stir through the sauce. Taste and check the seasoning adding salt and pepper as necessary.

  • Unroll the filo pastry and scrunch each sheet into a loose ball before placing on the chicken filling. You may not need all the pastry, so it can be re-wrapped and frozen for another time.
  • Spray the pastry with oil, and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden and crunchy and the filling is piping hot.
