Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Preheat a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
  2. Heat butter and brown seasoned chicken. Remove from pan.
  3. Add bacon, leeks, mushrooms and thyme and sauté. Return chicken to the pan.
  4. Add crème fraiche and mustard and cook for 2 minutes. (Don’t overcook the veggies as they will be going into the oven).
  5. Lay two sheets of pastry onto the lined baking tray, to form the base (the pastry will slightly overlap). Spoon on the mixture, leaving a 1 cm gap around the edge.
  6. Brush edge with water and top with the second two pastry sheets to form a lid. Use a fork to press the edges together.
  7. Brush with a beaten egg, and bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
