Chicken and vegetable pie: serves 4 (prep time 15 mins; cooking time 40 mins)

great for all the family!

500g diced chicken (or turkey if you prefer)
1 red onion, sliced finely
4 balls of frozen spinach
1 heaped tablespoon of flour
½ packet of chestnut mushrooms quartered
1 carrot diced finely
2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
300ml chicken stock
1 tsp thyme
filo pastry


Put 1tbsp olive oil into the frying pan and cook the chicken for 3 minutes.
Add to the frying pan all the other ingredients except the pastry.
Leave to simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Put the chicken mixture into a shallow dish.

Cover with the filo pastry – lay it on in individual sheets if possible. The important thing is to separate out the sheets so there is air between the layers.
Put into the oven and cook on 180 for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry looks cooked.
