A clear winner for Moy Park Culinary Competition

Elizabeth Clear from Dublin has claimed the sought-after title of 'All-Ireland Winner' in the My Moy Park Recipe Competition, with her scrumptious chicken dish, 'Creamy Chicken Pie'. Moy Park, Northern Ireland’s leading food company, had thrown down the gauntlet to all those with culinary prowess across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to share their most treasured chicken recipe, to be in with a chance of winning a weekend break for two at the award-winning 'MacNean House', in Co. Cavan. With over 1000 entries in the first round of the competition, it was left to the expert judging panel, which included Moy Park's Executive Chef Aaron Dixon, to identify the cream of the crop and select five recipes to go to the public vote. With a range of delicious and imaginative dishes reaching the final stage including Irish Whiskey Chicken, Marinated Chicken Kebabs with Lemon-Pepper Yoghurt Sauce, Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Chicken Soup and Moy Amazing Italian Chicken, it was Elizabeth's family favourite Creamy Chicken Pie, which trounced the others and secured the coveted grand prize. Paul Burch, Moy Park Accounts Director Ireland, said, "After a competitive online public vote we are thrilled to announce that Elizabeth's 'Creamy Chicken Pie' recipe has reigned supreme and won the My Moy Park Recipe Competition. Elizabeth's much-loved family recipe embodies the values of Moy Park; representing both the importance of using the finest in high quality local produce and recognising that even families with busy lifestyles need flavour." Delighted with her achievement, Elizabeth Clear commented, "It's amazing to have won the My Moy Park Recipe Competition. I'm really excited to take my mother to 'MacNean House', who, along with my aunt, inspired my 'Creamy Chicken Pie' recipe, which started as a leftover pie at Christmas! I love Moy Park chicken; it is not only great value but its versatility means it can be used in a wide range of dishes."
