The ultimate comforting supper, bursting with flavorsome vegetables and a rich herby gravy. You can either use some of the pre-frozen chicken filling , in which case thaw it, then assemble the pie and eat straight away. Alternatively, you can make the filling, let cool, and assemble the pie, then freeze the whole thing uncooked ready to defrost and bake in the oven at a later date.

Cooks' Note

(F) Cover the pie dish, label, and freeze.
(D) Let stand overnight in the fridge.
(C) Remove the pie from the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes, or until piping hot and deep golden.
