200 g cooked, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
200 g frozen mixed vegetables
300 g tin cream of tomato soup
175 g self-raising flour, plus extra to dust
1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
50 g mature Cheddar cheese, grated
75 ml milk, plus extra to brush
1 medium egg, lightly beaten
1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. In a medium bowl, stir together the cooked chicken, frozen vegetables, soup and some seasoning. Pour the mixture into a rough 1 litre shallow ovenproof dish and set aside.
Step 2
Sift flour, baking powder and a large pinch of salt into a large bowl. Stir in most of the cheese. Beat the milk, egg and oil together in a separate bowl.
Step 3
Pour milk mixture into the flour bowl and use a cutlery knife to bring it together until the dough forms clumps. Add a splash of milk if it looks too dry.
Step 4
Tip the dough on to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rough 9cm x 15cm rectangle. Cut the rectangle into eight equal squares, then arrange the scones on top of the chicken mixture. Brush each scone with a little milk, then sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
Step 5
Cook in the oven for 20min or until scones are risen and golden, and the filling is bubbling and piping hot. Serve immediately.
