Chicken Pie

Pies are a traditional culinary delight in Western countries, its history dates back to ancient Greece. In medieval times, pies were made to preserve food and were often used to keep the filling fresh during cold winter months. These pies were anything but bland — people used dried fruit, cinnamon, pepper and nutmeg to season their meats. Pies are now served in a variety of shapes and flavours for festive occasions and also consumed as a meal or snack. Here’s a recipe on how to make a chicken pie recipe with flaky pastry filled with chicken filling! First of all, mix sugar, flour, castor sugar and add some corn oil to it.
