  • 2. Mix the milk with the corn flour, and pre heat the oven to 200oC.

  • 3. Add the Carrots, Garlic & Onions to the same pan the chicken breasts were fried in and fry for 5 minutes until the onions are starting to brown, then add the stock to the pan and bring to the boil. Once boiled add the milk and corn flour mixture and then pour into the oven proof dish with the chicken and broccoli.

  • 4. Strip the thyme leaves from the stalks and add to the oven dish, then give all the ingredients in the dish a good stir.

  • 5. Scrunch the individual filo sheets on top of the chicken mixture ensuring that the surface is completely covered.

  • 6. Place in the oven for about 50 minutes until cooked through and browned on top.

    • I was very pleased with this recipe. I am a complete novice and never used any herbs in my life before. The only thing I need to do better is that the sauce was a little runny. May be I didnt cook for long enough or not enough corn flour? Also I used puff pastry on mine and it too was a little soggy underneath but it tasted fine. Would have another go of this for sure.

    • Hi, I made this yesterday for the family. I was very happy with it, but I must have put on too much filo pastry, as the top of it was crispy and the underneath was thick & soggy. The recipe states 10 sheets, is this right, a pack of Jus-Rol filo sheets contains 6, and I only used about half this pack ??

    I really like this recipe because substituting short crust pastry or puff pastry for the filo pastry cuts down on the fat count and makes for a nice crispy alternative.
