recipe: Curried Chicken Pot Pies

Honestly, after a month of eating mainly vegetables, these pies tasted like heaven...now you go and cook them, cause they were dead easy as well, and make your own decisions!

Serving 4:
2 sheets puff pastry just thawed, 500 g chicken breast, 1 onion finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tomato chopped, 1x 400g can chopped tomatoes, 300g mixed frozen vegetables (like peas, corn, carrot mix), 2 cups baby spinach leaves, 3 tsp curry powder, 125 ml coconut milk, 1 tbs olive oil

1. Turn on your oven grill, line the tray with some baking paper and place your chicken breasts to grill for about 10 minutes each side, or until coked. Remove them and chop coarsely;
2. Heat the oil in a sauce pan, add onion, garlic and curry powder stirring often;
3. Add tomato, chicken, tomato sauce and coconut milk and bring to a boil;
4. Reduce heat, let simmer adding frozen vegetables and finally spinach. Correct flavours;
5. Grease four ramekins with a bit of oil, divide the chicken mixture amongst ramekins (you might end up with some extra - freeze.);
6. Cut your puff pastry into triangles and top the ramekins with the pastry.
7. Place in your oven at 200C and bake for about 20-25 minutes;

Serve with some nice tomato and cucumber salad, they are truly delicious. (maybe a bit tricky to eat off the ramekins, but...who cares, they were so pretty!)
