In a large frying pan, soften onion with dash of olive oil. Add garlic, then chicken mince. When chicken is cooked through, stir in corn kernels and peas.

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter then add the flour. Cook till the mixture thickens and bubbles. Gradually add the 2 cups of milk and the crumbled chicken stock cube. Stir until the sauce boils and thickens. Stir in parmesan and creamed corn.

Stir into the chicken mixture and set aside to cool.

Grease two shallow baking dishes of your choice and line with a sheet of puff pastry. Divide the creamy chicken mix between the two dishes and cover with another sheet of pastry. Pinch the edges and brush with egg.

Bake the pies ~covered~ in 200C degree oven for 25 mins. Uncover and bake for 20 mins or until pastry browns.
