Ingredients

Chicken thighs skinless boneless 500gm

1 leek or onion

1 bay leaf

1 tsp of thyme

1 tsp of wholegrain mustard

200ml stock

100ml double cream

80ml white wine

1 tbsp plain flour

1 egg, beaten

Steps

1. Fry the chicken, leek, herbs and seasoning in butter in a casserole dish for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked. 
2. Sieve flour into the dish, cooking for 3 minutes until a paste has formed. 
3. Pour in the wine and cook for a minute or two before adding the stock, cream and mustard.
4. Turn the temperature down and bring the dish to a simmer. 
5. Cook for a further 10 minutes to cook the chicken through. Remove from heat and allow to cool. 
6. Butter your pie dish. 
7. Using the pastry of your choice, use it to line the dish, then spoon in the filling. Roll out the remaining pastry until large enough to cover the pie. Brush the edge of the pastry with a little of the remaining beaten egg, then drape over the pie to close it. Trim the edge, then press with a fork to seal. Score a pattern on top with a sharp knife and brush with the rest of the egg.
8. Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake for 20 minutes, until the pastry is a deep golden brown.
