Time 1h45m

Yield Cuts into 10-12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp olive oil
knob butter
1 onion, finely chopped
500g sausagemeat or skinned sausages
grated zest of 1 lemon
100g fresh white breadcrumbs
85g ready-to-eat dried apricots, chopped
50g chestnut, canned or vacuum-packed, chopped
2 tsp chopped fresh or 1 tsp dried thyme
100g cranberries, fresh or frozen
500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
500g pack ready-made shortcrust pastry
beaten egg, to glaze

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Heat 1 tbsp oil and the butter in a frying pan, then add the onion and fry for 5 mins until softened. Cool slightly. Tip the sausagemeat, lemon zest, breadcrumbs, apricots, chestnuts and thyme into a bowl. Add the onion and cranberries, and mix everything together with your hands, adding plenty of pepper and a little salt.
  • Cut each chicken breast into three fillets lengthwise and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan, and fry the chicken fillets quickly until browned, about 6-8 mins.
  • Roll out two-thirds of the pastry to line a 20-23cm springform or deep loose-based tart tin. Press in half the sausage mix and spread to level. Then add the chicken pieces in one layer and cover with the rest of the sausage. Press down lightly.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg and cover with the pastry lid. Pinch the edges to seal, then trim. Brush the top of the pie with egg, then roll out the trimmings to make holly leaf shapes and berries. Decorate the pie and brush again with egg.
  • Set the tin on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 mins, then cool in the tin for 15 mins. Remove and leave to cool completely. Serve with a winter salad and pickles.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final product. If you can, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined and then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from spreading too much. If you're short on time, you can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven: A preheated oven will help the pie to bake evenly. Make sure the oven is fully preheated before you put the pie in.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: The pie will need to cool slightly before you can serve it. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
  • Serve the pie with your favorite toppings: You can serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of yogurt. You can also add fresh berries or fruit.

Conclusion:

Christmas morning pie is a delicious and festive way to start your holiday. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and sweet and tangy flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and get ready to bake up some Christmas cheer!
