CHICKEN & BACON GRAVY PLAIT 😋 You know those recipes you make once and instantly know they’re going to become a family favourite? 🙌🏼 Well, this chicken & bacon gravy plait is definitely one of those! Crispy golden puff pastry filled with chicken, bacon, veggies and the most delicious thick gravy… to say this is to die for is an understatement 🤌🏼 It looks pretty impressive too but I promise the plait is SO much easier to do than it looks! Definitely give this one a save for your next family dinner 🫶🏼 Ingredients: 1 roll ready-rolled puff pastry 2 large chicken breasts 3 smoked back bacon rashers, fat trimmed 1 white onion 1 carrot Garlic (cloves or purée) 1 tsp thyme 1 tbsp lain flour Chicken broth/stock A little thick gravy 1 egg, for brushing Method: 1. Finely dice the onion and carrot and add to a pan with a little oil. Cook for around 5–6 minutes until they start to soften. 2. Add the bacon and cook until it starts to colour. 3. Add the garlic and thyme, followed by the chicken, which I chopped into really small pieces so you get a bit of everything in every slice. 4. Once the chicken is cooked sprinkle over the plain flour and stir everything together for 1–2 minutes. 5. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring as you go, and let it bubble away until you have a really thick gravy. 6. Add a little dribble of thick gravy into the pie mixture, give it a stir and then leave the filling to cool completely. 7. Unroll the puff pastry and spoon the filling in a line down the middle. Cut diagonal strips down either side and alternate folding them over the filling to create the plait. 8. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 200°C fan for around 25 minutes, or until puffed and beautifully golden. 9. Leave to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Proper comfort food and one I already know we’ll be making on repeat 🤌🏼 #familymeal #familydinner #familyrecipe #EasyRecipes #DinnerIdeas
