I think it should be hotter sweetie, 200 at least.

I left it on 175 as that's what temperature I got told to cook the pastry at, have turned it up a bit now.

Now that the filling recipe has been tried and tested there are other uses for it (or variations of it with mushrooms or sweetcorn etc)

Add some cooked diced carrots and celery, serve it with rice and call it Chicken Fricasse

Make some pancakes, roll some filling in them and bake in the oven to heat through

Make the sauce a bit thinner and serve with pasta as a sort of cheats Carbonara

and has already been said serve with rice and call it Chicken Supreme

...put some curry paste in it (whilst making it) and call it coronation chicken

My oven's gas and I cook pastry at mark 7, which I think is 220 C
Keep your eye on it though, I don't want to be responsible for it singeing at this stage.

It would also be good as a sandwich filling (my sauce was quite thick). While I was waiting for other things to cook I kept nibbling at the pie filling and was tempted to put some in a slice of bread. I resisted as I want to leave room for the piece de resistance.

It's sodding, not sodden.

I might have overfilled mine slightly. I can see through the oven door and there's a little leakage. :rolleyes:
