Small chicken pies in shortcrust pastry, each holding chicken pieces in a creamy sauce. They're sold as individual frozen pies and go straight into the oven from frozen, taking about thirty to thirty-five minutes until the pastry turns golden and the filling is piping hot. Compared with larger family pies and puff pastry formats in the range, these are simpler and more compact, with a firm, crumbly case rather than a flaky top. The filling is thick enough to stay put when you cut in rather than running out, and the shortcrust holds its shape well on the plate. Serve them as a quick meal with veg or chips, or keep them as a single-portion lunch.
