Cheesy chicken slice aka the "pastry thing"

This is a favourite in our house for using up leftover food... you can put pretty much anything in - sweet or savoury (just not together). We call it the "pastry thing" in our house... we call alot of things "thing"... but I figured I better give it a better name!

Ingredients

  • 500g pack of puff pastry
  • Leftover cooked chicken
  • Peas
  • Sweetcorn
  • Grated cheese (as much or little as you like/have)
  • 1 tsp mixed chilli flakes and sea salt
  • Good dash of black pepper
  • Flour (for rolling pastry)
Method
  1. Preheat your oven to 200
  2. Dice up your leftover chicken
  3. Next bung everything (bar the pastry) into a mixing bowl and give it a good mix
  4. Roll out your pastry using a little bit of flour
  5. Put the flat pastry onto your baking tray (which I line with greaseproof paper - but you don't have to) and turn all the edges up
  6. Put your chicken-y mixture onto the pastry and smooth it all out 
  7. Now pop the tray into the oven for about 15-20 mins or until the pastry has puffed up nicely and gone a lovely brown
  8. Slice and serve!
(Alternatively you can let this cool, slice it up and pop it into hungry people's lunchboxes. OH will be having a good slice of this in his packed lunch tomorrow)

Delicious!
