This robust pie marries tender chunks of chicken with spicy Spanish chorizo and sweet red peppers for a Mediterranean twist on a classic. Topped with a golden, flaky puff pastry crust, it is the ultimate warming comfort food for a chilly evening.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and fry for 3-4 minutes until the oils release.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring to coat the meat and vegetables.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Transfer the chicken and sauce mixture into a deep 9-inch pie dish.
Roll out the puff pastry slightly on a floured surface so it is just larger than the pie dish.
Place the pastry over the filling, trimming any excess and pressing the edges against the rim to seal.
Cut a small 'X' in the center of the pastry to allow steam to escape and brush the top generously with the beaten egg.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
