Butter chicken pie recipe

Recipe
Butter chicken curry meets golden, flaky pastry in this next-level butter chicken pie recipe. Thanks to our handy butter chicken sauce, this recipe comes together very easily but still packs a bold flavour punch. Who knew butter chicken could get any better? We’ve used chicken breast fillets, but thighs would work well, too.

Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the yogurt (1 pot), garlic (3 tsp), ginger (3 tsp), tikka masala seasoning (4 tbsp) and lemon juice (1/2) to a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the diced chicken (1 kg), cover and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or ideally overnight) in the fridge.
step 2
Preheat the grill to high. Place the marinated chicken onto a foil-lined baking tray and pop under the grill for 15-17 minutes, turning regularly, until evenly charred. Drain off any excess liquid as you go.
step 3
Turn off the grill and preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Add the grilled chicken to a large ovenproof dish and pour over the butter chicken sauce (1 jar), mixing well to coat.
step 4
Unroll the puff pastry (1 pack) on top of the chicken sauce, crimp the edges with a fork and brush with egg wash (1). Scatter over the nigella seeds (2 tsp). Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
step 5
When you’re ready to serve, bring a large saucepan filled with hot water to a boil. Drop in the peas (400 g) and cook for 2-3 minutes, until warmed through. Drain the peas and serve immediately with the pie.
