Notes

  • If adding broccoli or cauliflower to this chicken and ham pie, then the florets need to be cut into small pieces so that they cook quickly.
  • If your sauce it quite runny, then simmer the mixture for a minute or two extra before putting it in a baking dish.
  • You can just add the sheet of puff pastry on top of this ham and chicken pie, however if there is a little excess pastry leftover, then you can cut out some little flower shapes to put on top to make it more decorative.
  • Make sure to make a couple of little cuts in the pastry to let the steam escape.
  • You can add some fresh chopped parsley for extra flavour.
