My review
Medieval Chicken Pie
Talia
"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."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 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.
- Pour filling into pie shell. Cover with top shell and crimp to seal edges.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 minutes to an hour.

Authentic in the sense that heavy spices would have been used to mask the taste and smell of rancid meat (since there was no refrigeration until the 20th c.), but my husband and I did not find t...

I was a bit skeptical about trying this but I thought why not? Thank goodness I did... The filling was absolutely delicious. I'm not a pie fan myself as I always find they never have enough fill...

This pie is delicious, and I would absolutely make it again and again. It was pretty easy and not overly time-consuming. I did have to make some changes. I don't like almonds, so I did not in...

An amazing mixture of spices and flavor. I use chicken stock for prepping the chicken. This recipe is excellent with lamb as well.

This was a really nice twist on a chicken pot pie-the mace makes a big difference in the flavor.

I was nervous about what my husbands opinion about this would be. No fear he really liked it. In fact I think that he liked it more than me. The only complaint was that I over reacted a little ...
