Notes

 
  • Make sure to cook the vegetables slowly as it will release more flavour if the pan is not overcrowded
  • The chicken pie sauce will need to be not too runny neither too thick as this will affect the overall quality of the dish
  • You can substitute or add any vegetables as required
  • Butter and water need to be cold (chill) to keep the pastry buttery and not melted
