Chicken Pie!

Yesterday i went to Hannah's house to make chicken pie! It was my first attempt in baking. Firstly, we went to NTUC to get the ingredients which included chicken thigh and capsicum. She had other ingredients like garlic, onion, mushrooms and potato at home. Removing the chicken fats was tough! Slicing it into smaller pieces was tough too. After cutting the chicken thigh, we went on to cut the vegetables and onion. Then we seasoned the chicken and fried the ingredients together to make the filling. After which, we placed it in the fridge and started to make the pastry for the pie.

After shaping the pastry, we put the filling inside. Then we galzed the top surface with egg yolk. After preheating the oven, we placed the chicken pie inside for 35mins. Haha and after slicing the big pie into 4 pieces, it looked like this..


Haha do not be mistaken..its not burnt! Just that i think we used too much egg yolk to glaze the top surface. The crust was a bit hard and thick too..think i did not shape the pastry well enough..BUT i was so glad that Kelvin said that it was nice! My mum thought it was nice too! Think that she is so glad that i am finally making myself useful in the kitchen. And i enjoyed the whole process of making it with Hannah:) Baking is fun! Lol..Will upload more pics when i get them from Hannah.

Haha, as a sidenote, it's rather sad that school holidays are coming to an end soon. Back to school :( But this hols has been a rather different, happy and satisfying one. I won't trade anything in the world for what i've been through and all the happiness that we shared. Each day i just feel more and more blessed to be with u..To that special person..thanks! Looking forward to the chalet next week:)
