Chef tips
To keep the crust crispy and prevent a soggy bottom, let the chicken filling cool slightly before topping with pastry. Don't forget to prick small steam vents in the dough to let the moisture escape while baking. For a little kick, add sliced green olives or a pinch of smoked paprika to the filling. This rich pie pairs perfectly with a refreshing tomato and garlic salad on the side.
