Method

Preheat Combi Pan on SEAR/SAUTÉ HI for with door open.
Melt butter; add onion, peas, carrots, leek, parsley and thyme. Sauté , stirring occasionally.
Our tip Leeks hide grit between their layers. Swish the slices in a bowl of cold water, lift them out so the dirt stays behind, and dry them before they hit the butter.
Whisk in flour and cook . Whisk in stock and cream; reduce heat to 3 and simmer about until thickened.
Our tip Add the stock a splash at a time at first, whisking each one in before the next, and the sauce won't go lumpy. It's thick enough when it coats the back of a spoon.
Stir in chicken and seasoning. Return pan to Level 1. Select BAKE, 180°C355°F, ; unit preheats .
Our step Spray the bake tray with cooking spray so the pastry lid doesn't stick.
Place puff pastry on Bake Tray, trim if needed and slide into Level 2 when preheated.
When pastry is golden, remove and place on top of chicken mixture.
Our tip Lift a corner of the lid: the underside should be dry and lightly browned, not pale. The filling should be bubbling at the edges too, as the cooked chicken went in cold.
