Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

5. Stir the shredded chicken into the pie filling mixture.
6. Season to your liking and simmer for 15 minutes.
7. Remove from the heat & set aside to cool slightly.
8. Roll the puff pastry out onto a floured work surface and cut out the pie top/s for the large pie or smaller pies.
9. Spoon the Pie mixture into pie dish/es, top with pastry.
10. Brush with egg, poke holes in the top so that any hot air can escape.
11. Bake off in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the pastry is golden.
