I'm going to make chicken pie with left over roast, asvice please.....

[LoveBeingAMummy]

So i've got some chicken and have decided to make chicken pie for tea. Will be doing pie top only, no probs with pastry as have my trusty food processor but hvae a question re my gravy.

I have some of Jamies Xmas gravy in the freezer and will be using this in my pie however do I need to allow for further reduction in the oven? How much is a wise amount to put in as I don't want it to bubble ver and go to waste? Do i just make as normal stick half in and leave half for adding at the table just in case?

cheers folks

Oh I will be watching this with interest, just the question I was thinking about!

Your gravy won't reduce by much in the oven as you have a pastry lid, albeit with vents.

Ruby i do that if i am short of time as defo seems to be quickier don't know why or if it is but i think it tastes better cooked as a pie don't know why.

silver thanks will make sure it is the right consistency (sp) before i put it in the oven then.

Oh another quick one, i can put the chicken in cold can';t i?
