This chicken and vegetable pie is easy as... well, pie!

1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1.25kg chicken thigh fillets, skin on, halved
50g unsalted butter, chopped
2 tbs Dijon mustard
1 bunch sage, leaves picked, chopped
2 tsp fennel seeds
4 eschalots, thinly sliced on a mandoline
2 parsnips, thinly sliced into rounds on a mandoline
2 carrots, thinly sliced into rounds on a mandoline
1/3 cup (50g) plain flour
2 sheets frozen butter puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten with 2 tsp cold water, for eggwash
1 tbs black sesame seeds

Method

1.

Preheat oven grill to high. Arrange chicken in an 5L-capacity baking dish, skin side up, and drizzle with oil and season with salt. Grill skin for 8-10 minutes or until golden. While the chicken is grilling, place butter, mustard, sage leaves, fennel seeds, eschalots, parsnips and carrot and flour in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat in the flour. Remove chicken from under grill and change the setting to oven and preheat to 180°C.
2.

Add the vegetables to the tray with the chicken, and roast for 25-30 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly caramelised. Remove from oven and stir. Then, cover with pastry sheets (laying the pastry side-by-side), brush with eggwash and scatter with sesame seeds. Cut a hole in the the centre of each pastry sheet, then return to oven and cook for 30 minutes until deep golden.
