    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly spray a shallow 6-cup pie dish with oil.

    2 In a non-stick frypan heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add mushrooms and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes until softened. Add chicken and remaining vegetables, then sprinkle over flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly pour in stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps forming. Add milk and increase heat to bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until sauce thickens.

    3 Pour filling into prepared dish. Top with the pastry sheet. Using a sharp knife, trim pastry to fit.

    4 Brush pie top with egg white and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes until golden brown. Serve pie with steamed veg.

    HFG tip

    A generous sprinkle of sesame seeds on your pastry top adds a little extra pizzazz.
