4. Place the pastry (see method below) over the chicken mixture, pressing along the edges to seal.

Shortcrust pastry method.
1. Place the Kellogg's All-Bran in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, using a rolling pin, crush the flakes to a fine crumb.
2. Put the flour, margarine, crushed Kellogg's All-Bran and pinch of salt into a mixing bowl.
3. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in enough of the cold water to bind the dough together.
4. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for 10-15 minutes before using.
