31 January - a very orange pie

There was still plenty of cold chicken to eat, so I came up with a leftovers pie, using the rest of the puff pastry and some squash in the bottom of the fridge. I wasn't completely convinced about chicken and squash combination, but I came up with a filling of fried onions, a few lardons, cubed cooked squash, some chicken stock, the chicken, a bit of chopped sage and a splodge of cream. It looked quite alarmingly orange, but seemed to taste okay! I put it in a pie die with a pastry lid and popped it in the oven. We had it with some purple sprouting broccoli and it actually wasn't too bad. I think there was probably a bit too much squash for the amount of chicken, but otherwise, quite tasty.
