CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM BREAD PIES

I really enjoyed making and eating these Chicken and Mushroom Bread Pies. I thought it was such a novel way to eat your dinner and the finished product looks great too.

                                       CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM BREAD PIES




400g Chicken Thigh Fillets, trimmed, finely chopped
200g Button Mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 T Plain Flour
1/2 cup Milk
1/4 cup chopped Frozen Mixed Vegies
1 cup grated Tasty Cheese
Mixed Salad, to serve


1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius. Lightly grease 8 holes of 2x 6-hole
    (1 cup capacity) Texas Muffin Trays with a little butter. Using a rolling pin
    flatten bread slices. Ease into prepared holes. Bake for 5 minutes or until
    crisp.


2. Meanwhile, heat butter in a large frying pan over moderately high heat. 
    Add chicken, cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until browned. Add mushroom 
   and garlic; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour; cook and
    stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat; gradually stir in milk. Return pan to
    moderately high heat. Cook and stir until mixture boils and thickens. Add
    vegetables. Simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat.


3. Stir half the cheese into the sauce. Spoon mixture into bread cases.
    Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden. 
    Serve with salad.
