These Pesto Chicken Pies are the perfect single serving treat. They are culinary chameleons that fit any occasion; be it dinner, hosting guests or even lunch. This recipe is somewhere happily in between a sausage roll and a meat pie – more substantial than the former but lighter than the latter. The pesto and chicken filling will happen almost of its own accord in the Thermomix, so just roll out your (store bought or homemade) pastry in the meantime, and don't forget the egg-wash as that will give a luxurious golden finish.
