Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and brown the chicken for 6 minutes, then add the onion, pepper and garlic and cook for 10 minutes until soft.
- 2
Stir in the passata and cook for 5 minutes until thickened. Season and leave to cool slightly, making sure the chicken has no pink remaining.
- 3
Line a baking tray with one sheet of pastry, spread the filling over it leaving a border, then cover with the second sheet and crimp the edges to seal.
- 4
Brush the top with the beaten egg and cut a couple of small slits to let steam escape.
- 5
Bake for 30-35 minutes until deep golden and crisp. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
