Mexican Chicken Pie

  • Family Friendly

This scrunchy, crunchy-topped pie is a good way to get those kids active in the kitchen. Task them with creating the filo nests to top your Mexican-flavoured filling and watch their eyes widen with delight when that golden crown emerges from the oven. You'll all be proud of their efforts, so no one will be eating humble pie tonight
