  3. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir well, and cook for 2 minutes.

  7. Pour the filling into a pie dish and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  8. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cover the filling.
  9. Seal the edges with a fork and cut slits in the top of the pastry.
  10. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
  12. Let the pie rest for a few minutes before slicing and garnish with fresh parsley.
