Kiersten's Sunday Lunch!

I love cooking & baking. I love it coz i fine it very therapeutic and i'm in a world of my own and am in-charged of it! And I do cook regularly on every weekends and also plan for Kiersten's & Christian's daily meals (except that Maria help me to execute it ... and i must say she is a very good cook too. At times she will improvised from my recipes ... very sedap pulak tu!), our daily breakie, my MIL's extra request for Church gathering ... so much of multi-tasking right ... well that's why Mother's Day is so well celebrated lar!

Here is one of Kiersten's & Dada's favourite quick fix on a lazy weekend:

Also a one pot 'kau-tim-sai' style ... Estimated cooking time is 15mins

Pot Pie

Ingredients (for 2 servings):
a) Pastry Crust slice - bought it from the frozen dept in any regular supermarket ... easy peasy :)
b) Chicken Breast - 2 pcs
c) Bacon Back - 100 gm
d) Carrot - 1 stick
e) Broccoli - 500 gm
f) Bombay Onion - 2 Big Onions (i'm big on Bombay onion ... it sweetened food naturally)
g) Campbell White Cream - 1 Can
h) Water - 9 oz

Pre-Cooking:
+ Cut Chicken Breast into small cubes
+ Mince Back Bacon
+ Mince Carrot into tiny-winy size
+ Cut Broccoli into tiny-winy size
+ Cut Bombay Onions into small cubes

Cooking:
+ Heat up a non-stick heavy-bottomed pan
+ Pour 2 'Circles' of Olive Oil into the non-stick heavy-bottomed pan
+ Once Pan is heated up, pour in Bombay Onions to stir fry for a minute
+ Add in Carrot, stir fry for another minute
+ Add in Broccoli, stir fry for another minute
+ Last, when it's superbly fragrant, pour in the Chicken Breast
+ Continue to stir fry until chicken is slight brown and cooked
+ Add in Bacon to stir for another minute
+ Pour in Campbell White Cream
+ Add Water (you may not want to pour 9 oz of water in ... gauge the texture since it's personal preference)
+ Stir well
+ Simmer till boil
+ Pour everything from pot to Oven safe bowls

*Place pastry out for 1 min before hand
*Cut Pastry to bowl shape / size (leave additional 1 inch for sides to be folded down to make the super crunchy edge)

+ Place Pastry Crust Slice on top of bowl ... press the sides down firmly ... but leaving it slightly loose in the centre portion for puffing
+ Use a Fork to poke a few holes to release hot air in order to puff up
+ You can use the fork and press the top edges slightly to create patterns too!

Have fun with this!
