    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry for 5 mins. Stir in the mushrooms, turn up the heat to high and fry for 5 mins or until the liquid has evaporated.

    2. Add the chicken and garlic and fry for 5 mins (it doesn’t need to be cooked through). Stir in the flour; reduce the heat to medium.

    3. Gradually add the stock, stirring, until combined and smooth. Stir in the soft cheese and parsley; season well. Pour into a deep 20 x 25cm baking dish.

    4. Brush the lip of the dish with a little beaten egg, then drape the pastry over the dish. Trim the overhang with a sharp knife and crimp to seal. Brush with more egg, then cut a slit in the centre for the steam to escape. Bake for 20-25 mins until puffed and golden.

    5. Meanwhile, steam the greens for 8-10 mins until tender. Season and serve with the pie.

    Tip: Top leftover pastry with sliced fruit, then bake until golden for a speedy sweet treat.
