Steps
Steps
- 1Simmer the chicken thighs in the stock in a covered pan for 15 minutes, until just cooked. Lift them out, cut into bite-sized pieces and keep the stock hot.
- 2Melt the butter in a wide pan over medium heat and cook the onion, carrots and celery for 8 minutes, until the onion is soft. Add the garlic for 1 minute.
- 3Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes without letting it brown, to lose the raw taste.
- 4Gradually whisk in the hot stock, then the milk, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce coats a spoon thickly. It loosens in the oven, so it should start thick.
- 5Stir in the chicken, peas and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Pour into a 24 cm pie dish and let it cool for 15 minutes; a hot filling melts the butter in the pastry before it can puff.
- 6Heat the oven to 200°C. Lay the pastry over the dish, trim it leaving 1 cm overhanging, press it onto the rim, brush with the egg and cut 3 slits for steam.
- 7Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the pastry is deep golden and the filling bubbles through the slits.
- 8Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
