    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat half the oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Add thyme, leek and zucchini and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
    Add beans, broccolini and flour, stirring to coat. Gradually add stock and mustard and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens. Transfer to an 8 cup-capacity (2L) ovenproof dish.

    2 Heat remaining oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes or until browned all over. Add chicken to vegetable mixture, along with fresh dill. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

    3 Roll pastry between two sheets of baking paper until slightly larger than top of dish. Place pastry over filling, gently pressing into sides of dish to secure. Trim excess pastry. Brush pie top with egg, then make six small cuts in top of pastry. Bake pie for 25 minutes or until top is golden. Slice into portions and serve immediately.

    HFG tip

    Use up leftover pastry dough by decorating your pie top. Get creative and shape into leaves or create a lattice effect.

      It’s also nice when eaten cold with a salad.
