  • In a large frying pan, soften onion with dash of olive oil. Add garlic, then chicken mince. When chicken is cooked through, stir in corn kernels and peas.
  • In a separate saucepan, melt the butter then add the flour. Cook till the mixture thickens and bubbles. Gradually add the 2 cups of milk and the crumbled chicken stock cube. Stir until the sauce boils and thickens. Stir in parmesan and creamed corn.
  • Stir into the chicken mixture and set aside to cool.
  • Grease two shallow baking dishes of your choice and line with a sheet of puff pastry. Divide the creamy chicken mix between the two dishes and cover with another sheet of pastry. Pinch the edges and brush with egg.
  • Bake the pies ~covered~ in 200C degree oven for 25 mins. Uncover and bake for 20 mins or until pastry browns.
