Spicy Chicken & Bacon Pasties
- 2 slices streaky bacon, chopped
- 1 large potato, peeled and cut into small cubes (about 250g total weight)
- 1 red chili pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 cooked chicken, breast meat shredded
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 13 ounces premade puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Heat oven to 425F Fry the bacon in a non-stick pan over a medium heat for a few mins, until it starts to release its fat.
- Add the potato, turn up the heat and fry for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the potato just underdone.
- Add the chili and cook for a further minute Season generously with black pepper, plus salt to taste.
- Tip into a bowl and mix with the shredded chicken and scallions.
- Unroll the pastry and, with a rolling pin, roll out until it's large enough to cut out 4 circles of pastry, using a large saucer or a side plate as a guide, discarding the trimmings.
- Lift onto a baking sheet.
- Spoon the filling into the middle of each circle.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with a little milk, then bring them up to the middle, pinching at the top to make a pasty.
- Brush with a little milk, then bake for 15 mins or until golden.
