Medieval Chicken Pie

This is a kind of meat pie that would have been eaten during the Middle Ages (700-1450) in Europe. Feel free to play around with the spices and substitute things such as cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, etc. Use a Whole wheat crust to be really authentic.

Step: 1

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a saucepan, boil chicken with chicken broth, over low heat, for about 1 hour or until done. Add water, if necessary, to cover chicken while cooking. Drain and reserve the broth, and place cooked chicken in a large bowl.

Step: 2

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 3

Add egg, white wine and 1 cup of chicken stock to the cooked chicken. Add dates, ground almonds and cheese, then toss to mix. Add salt, black and white pepper, cloves, ginger, mace and cinnamon. Mix spices in. Don’t worry if the filling seems wet, it will thicken as it cooks.

Step: 4

Pour filling into pie shell. Cover with top shell and crimp to seal edges.

Step: 5

Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 minutes to an hour.

It means , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the junk food and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

When it comes to dinner , much eat or eating too much of the bad kinds of food will make lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the other side, a daylight food that is less than satiating can leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night side dish even closer to sleep .
