A simple chicken pie filling that is easy to make. My family love this pie and when I have guests they always ask for the recipe.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

This filling can be frozen and be made up with any one of your favourite pastries.

I like to cook the chicken in my pressure cooker for speed and it makes no difference whether you sauté the onions or not as they need to disintegrate in the sauce anyway.
