Lucy's Easy Chicken and Bacon Filo Pie

Lucy's Easy Chicken and Bacon Filo Pie has become all the rage in my Kitchen Gadgetry with Feisty Tapas Facebook group. We even had a thread about what to name it:

Lucy's Lazy Chicken Pie? But Lucy isn't lazy.

Lucy's Easy Chicken Pie? But Lucy isn't Easy!

You get the gist....

Lucy is, of course, our own Lucy Sparkle Mars, whose website, Fresher Bites, is designed for people starting to cook but I reckon pretty much everyone will find a few helpful hints there.

And so Lucy's Easy Chicken and Bacon Filo Pie was born.

This Chicken and Bacon Filo pie is absolutely lovely. I have had the pleasure of meeting her in person and I can't wait to see her again!

Lucy's Easy Chicken and Bacon Filo Pie is her invention and what a pie it is.

Because it uses filo pastry, it makes for a lighter pie which is still as comforting as any pie. It's beautiful with the filo pastry, a dish to quickly make when you have unexpected guests or when it's just you for dinner and need leftovers for tomorrow.

By the way, anything goes with this recipe. Adapt to your heart's content.

This pie uses a hob to oven frying pan. If you don't have one, just transfer the pie mix to an oven proof dish before adding the filo pastry. You can still cook this, and you should!

The Tefal Ingenio 26 cm frying pan is ideal for this pie (and the one I used).

This recipe will also work in the air fryer of course! Reduce the air frying time.

If you don't have a frying pan that can go in the oven, just make the mix in a normal frying pan and transfer to an oven dish.

• OR a frying pan and an oven dish

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 chicken breasts cubed
• 4 rashers bacon
• extra virgin olive oil or oil of your choice
• 1 medium onion
• 200 g mushrooms quartered
• 1 glug vermouth/marsala/dry white wine I used dry white wine as it's what I had
• 200 ml white sauce, approx which you can make in your Thermomix if you have one: 20 g plain flour, 20 g butter, 200 ml milk, 4 minutes, 90º, speed 4
• 1 tablespoon of grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon of English mustard
• 3 sheets filo pastry scrunched-up (I actually used four, it was my first time...)
• A knob butter melted

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven on at 180º fan (200º if non-fan).
• Brown the chicken with the bacon in a frying pan. Reserve.
• In the same pan (no need to wash) fry the onion for a few minutes, then add the quartered mushrooms. Add the reserved chicken and bacon and the wine, let it bubble to evaporate.
• Add the white sauce and the mustards, stir.
• Remove handle if using Tefal Ingenio pans or move mix to oven dish if not using the pan in the oven. Top with 3 scrunched-up sheets of filo pastry, dabbed with melted butter and pop into the oven for 15 minutes. Check all pastry is browned, or turn and cook for another 5 minutes. In the air fryer, start with 10 minutes at 180ºC, no need to preheat.

Notes

Want to make it for more people? My frying pan is 20 cm diameter. Make it to feed more people in a bigger pan.

Or transfer it to a big oven dish
