Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C. In a large pan, heat half the oil over a medium-high heat. Add carrot, spring onion, garlic and Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring, for 8-10 minutes, until softened. Add mushrooms and stir, cooking for a further 5 minutes or until mushrooms are cooked. Remove vegetable mix from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to pan and add chicken. Cook, stirring, for 8-10 minutes, until just cooked through. Return veges to pan.
- In a bowl, combine stock, 1/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons mustard and flour and stir with a fork until well combined. Add to vege mix and combine. Add spinach or other greens and stir to combine. Season generously with black pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Place chicken and vege mix in a casserole or baking dish. Scrunch up filo sheets and arrange on top. Spray with oil. Bake in the oven for around 5-8 minutes, until filo is golden and crisp.
- While pie is in the oven, steam or microwave broccoli until tender (about 2 minutes). Place in a bowl and add sour cream and remaining teaspoon of the mustard. Stir well to coat broccoli. Season with black pepper. Serve with chicken pie.
