Apart from the fact that I used chicken breast's, I made this exactly as written. I made smaller individual serving's of this pie and they were absolutely divine. Such a great pie, so warming and comforting on a very cold winter's night. The flavours were just fantastic, the mustard and cream complimented each other so well and made for a rich creamy masterpiece! My family loved this and we took the leftover pies to work. Can't get any better than this during winter!
