Ingredients

  • 4 sheets Pampas Puff Pastry, just thawed
  • 1 cup (160g) shredded, cooked chicken
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, grated
  • ¼ cup (30g) pitted green olives, chopped
  • ¼ cup (60g) char-grilled capsicum, chopped
  • 2 tsp finely chopped thyme
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ cup (75g) aioli, plus extra to serve
  • 1 egg, beaten lightly
  • 1 tsp salt flakes

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line two large oven trays with baking paper. Place chicken, eggs, olives, capsicum, thyme, paprika and aioli in a bowl; mix well.
  2. Using an 11cm round cutter, cut 4 rounds from each sheet of pastry. Place 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture in the centre of each pastry round, brush edges with a little egg. Fold pastry over filling then twist over the edges at 1cm intervals to form a rope pattern. Place on prepared trays.
  3. Brush pies with a little more egg, sprinkle with salt flakes. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffed, golden and cooked through. Serve with extra aioli.
