Description

A comforting and flavorful Greek Chicken Frying Pan Pie made with tender chicken thighs, smoked pancetta, and a zesty lemon sauce, all encased in a flaky shortcrust pastry.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 640g skinless, boneless chicken thigh fillets
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 80g smoked pancetta di cubetti
  • 2 large potatoes
  • 150g frozen chopped onion
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • Grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 450ml chicken stock
  • 4 tbsp chopped mint
  • 500g shortcrust pastry
  • 1 tbsp milk or beaten egg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 190°C (fan 170°C, gas 5).
  • Prepare chicken: Chop chicken into chunky pieces and toss with flour and seasoning.
  • Cook chicken and pancetta: Heat oil in a 24cm ovenproof frying pan. Add pancetta and chicken, cook over high heat until browned.
  • Prepare potatoes: Peel and cut potatoes into 2cm chunks.
  • Cook potatoes and onion: Reduce heat to medium. Add potatoes and onion to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes. Stir in oregano.
  • Make the lemon sauce: Whisk together egg yolks, cornflour, lemon zest, and juice. Slowly pour in warm chicken stock, stirring continuously. Season and stir in mint.
  • Roll out pastry: Roll out pastry on a floured surface to make a lid slightly larger than the pan.
  • Assemble: Return chicken and pancetta to the pan with lemon sauce. Pour filling into a pie dish if your pan isn’t ovenproof.
  • Cover and bake: Lay pastry lid over filling, trim excess. Brush with milk or egg and sprinkle with oregano. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Allow the pie to rest before serving for better slicing.
