No. 36 Chicken Pie à la Reine
Paste, 1 plump tender chicken, ½ pound salt pork, ½ teaspoonful each of celery, salt, and thyme, 4 sprigs parsley, white pepper and salt to taste. Cut the chicken up in small joints, the pork in neat scallops, and stew gently in 1½ pints water until nearly cooked. Line the edge of a pudding dish with the paste, make layers of the chicken, pork, and seasonings; when used sprinkle over the chopped parsley; fill with the gravy, cover, ornament, and wash over with milk, and bake in steady oven 40 minutes.
