How do I make it?

- In a large frying pan, melt butter on high. Sauté onion and garlic for 3-4 until tender.
- Add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Stir in wine, bring to boil. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until reduced by half. Add flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring.
- Remove from the heat and gradually mix in the milk and cream, whisking until smooth. Return to heat. Cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add remaining vegetables and stir through. Season to taste.
- Divide chicken mixture evenly between prepared ramekins.
- Cut out 4 squares from pastry a little larger than the rim of your ramekins. Place over each ramekin.. Make two slits in centre of pastry with a sharp knife as air vents. Brush with a little egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden and puffed.
