Chicken & Bacon Pie

Full product description

Creamy, smoky and properly comforting, our chicken & bacon pie is packed with tender chicken pieces and crisp bacon in a silky white sauce, tucked under a golden puff pastry lid. It bakes up flaky and crisp while the filling turns glossy and rich underneath. Midweek-easy, Sunday-worthy—just add mash, chips or buttered greens.
