Ingredients
Instructions
Make the filling
Sauté the onion in a little oil until soft, add the diced chicken and cook through. Stir in the flour, then gradually add the milk, stirring until thickened. Add cheese, season, and let cool slightly.
Assemble
Spoon the filling into a pan or ramekins and top with pie dough, pressing the edges to seal. Cut a vent and brush with beaten egg.
Air fry
Air fry at 360°F for about 18–22 minutes, until the crust is deep golden and crisp.
- Let the filling cool a little so the crust stays crisp.
- Cut a vent so steam escapes and the top doesn't get soggy.
- Add peas, carrots or corn to the filling for a classic pot pie.
