See in the dark chicken pie

My children absolutely love chicken pie so over the last couple of weeks, i have been subtly altering the recipe so that i can include more goodness into them :)
First things first-the pie dough. Take 4 cups plain flour, add 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 cups of water. Mix into a dough and put into the fridge to rest for half an hour.
Heat oven to  200C , and prepare the filling. Today i used leftover chicken from yesterdays roast chicken. Prepare paste -Place 1 can mushrooms, 1 carrot peeled, and 100g pumpkin into a blender until it comes together in a paste.



Dice one onion.

Peel and dice one potato.

Roll out pastry until it is very thin, and using a small plate as a guide, cut circles of pastry out.

Place one teaspoon of the veggie paste in the middle of the circle, then place a teaspoon of diced onion on top, cover the onion with a teaspoon of the diced potato,

and top that with small pieces of chicken (you can also use chicken mince).

 Paint around the filling with water, and then fold over the pastry and use a large mouth cup to cut and seal the pie. Brush the pie with egg and place onto your paper lined baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
