Prep veggies and chicken Preheat oven to 220°C. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Set aside a casserole dish (about 22 x 20cm). Thinly slice leek and finely dice celery. Set aside. Pat chicken dry, dice 3cm and season. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat.

Return pan to medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and first measure of butter to pan and cook leek, celery, garlic and thyme for 7-8 minutes, until softened.

Make pie filling Mix cornflour with water. Return chicken and any resting juices to pan, along with cornflour/water mixture, stock, salt, and mustard. Scrape bottom of pan to release any brownings, and cook for about 1 minute, until thickened slightly. Remove from heat, fold through sour cream and season to taste
