Method

1.Toss chicken pieces in flour, shaking off excess. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Cook chicken in batches, until golden. Remove from pan. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, until mushrooms soften and liquid evaporates.

2.Preheat oven to 220°C. Combine chicken, mushrooms, green onion, peas and cheese in a bowl. Season to taste. Divide chicken mixture between four 11cm pie dishes or individual ramekins.

3.Brush edge of pie dishes with water. Cover with pastry and press around edge of each ramekin to seal. Brush tops with egg. Bake pies for 20 minutes, until pastry is golden. Serve with salad, if you like.
