Chicken Pie (Upside Down)



Do these look yummy? :)
Yes, baking fever is still on, so today Carmen and I decided to bake chicken pie!!!
Yeah, it's kind of ambitious for 2 of us who doesn't know much about baking but as always, even if we fail, we'd still have some fun trying.

When it comes to baking, I have got to folllow someone's recipe and this one is also from Peony.
The only thing which I have changed is the way I cooked the filling. Instead of mix vegetables, I just used diced carrots though I did use up the leftover mix vegetables which I have which is less than a handful. I also added some mixed herbs and soya sauce. The whole mixture smells amazing after adding the mixed herbs and I must say the taste is absolutely delicious.

Oh....why do I call it upside down chicken pie? You know this is the very first time I bake chicken pies (never baked any pies in my life) so I still do not know what went wrong but we found that after baking the pies for 30minutes, the pastry at the base and sides are still uncooked!
So, to save the pies, we took them out of the moulds and put them back on the baking try upside down and bake again for another 15minutes! Hahaha...It turned out great after that. Phew....

Carmen concluded that I am still better with the wok doing my usual stir fry. Haha...Anyway, I am going to find out what went wrong and try again! Next, we're thinking of trying to bake some egg tarts!
