Cooking Instructions:

BEFORE COOKING:

Preheat the oven to 210⁰c (fan bake).
1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES AND THE SALAD:

Using a deep-sided oven dish empty the bag of steamed potatoes into it and place in the oven. Peel the carrot, cut in half lengthways and cut into 1 cm halfmoons on the diagonal. Remove the parsley leaves discarding their stalks then chop finely. Empty the mesclun leaves into a salad bowl and add the toasted seeds. Just before serving drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. TO PREPARE THE PIE MIX:

Remove the free-range diced chicken breasts from their packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the chicken and the carrot and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the tarragon white sauce and cook for 2-3 mins until warm, add the chopped parsley and mix to combine. Melt 1 Tbsp of butter using the microwave or a small pot.
3. TO BUILD AND COOK THE PIE:

Add the contents of the pan to the oven dish with the potatoes and mix gently. Lightly crunch each of the filo pastry sheets and place on top of the pie mix, then drizzle with the melted butter. Bake in the oven for 15 mins until golden and the chicken is cooked through. Allow to sit for a few minutes before serving.
TO SERVE:

Divide the chicken filo pie between plates and serve with the seeded mesclun leaves on the side.
