Serve with steamed vegetables.
Method
STEP 1
Ask a grown-up helper to turn the oven on to 180°C, and get out a suitable pie dish.
STEP 2
Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and trim it to make a rectangle about that will fit on the top of your pie dish. You can make slices in the pastry to make a pattern if you want!
STEP 4
Slice the chicken into strips, then into chunks. Using a large saucepan, fry the chicken until it's cooked, then take it out the pan and set aside.
STEP 5
Slice your leek into thin slices, and slice your mushrooms too.
Add them to the pan and fry on a medium heat until cooked. Add your peas and stir.
STEP 6
Add the mustard and cream into the pan. When the cream is hot, turn off the heat.
STEP 7
Carefully pour the filling into your pie dish, and lay the pastry on the top.
STEP 8
Brush the pastry with the beaten egg. Ask your grown-up helper to put the pie in the oven for 35 minutes or until the pastry is brown and the filling bubbles.
Serve!
