Place the diced carrots, potato and chicken fillet into a small saucepan together with the water and simmer covered over a medium heat until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked
Remove from the heat and allow to cool but do not drain
Once cooled stir in the mixed herbs, mayonnaise and contents of the sachet of KNORR Chicken a’la King Dry Cook-In-Sauce.
Spoon the filling into a round oven proof pie dish and brush the edges of the dish with water
Unroll the puff pastry so that it drapes over the pie dish, trim the excess from the edges and press it firmly down
Make a small incision on the top of the pie to allow the steam to escape
Brush with a little milk then bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky
