- , for dusting plain flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

- Using a pastry brush, dab water around the edges of each pastry circle.
- Divide the filling mixture equally among the four pastry circles.
- Fold each pastry circle over itself to create four parcels, pinching the edges together to seal. Place each parcel onto a baking tray and dab with a little more water. Prick each parcel with a fork.
- Bake the chicken and tomato smiles in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown and the filling is piping hot. Set aside to cool slightly before serving.
