Method

1. Begin by making the pastry by rubbing the butter and flour together in between your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. I used regular Vitalite butter and it worked fine, however, you may need to add more flour until it becomes dry enough for breadcrumbs.
2. Then add enough water to bring it together into a dough. Knead it a little before putting into the fridge to chill.
3. Start making the filling: Melt the butter and garlic in a large pan and cook the chicken. Then add the veg with the season all.
4. Mix the flour with a little of the milk to make a paste and mix into the pan.
5. Add the rest of the milk and the stock.
6. Finally, add the chopped mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste.
7. Bring to a gentle boil until sauce has thickened and mushrooms are softened.
8. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
9. Roll out the pastry with a little flour.
10. Pour filling into a pie dish and lay the pastry over the top, folding over the edges and brushing a little more milk over the top.
11. Cook for 15-20mins until the pastry is golden brown.
