Preparation:
Dice the onion and leek to even cubes.

Method:
1. Melt the margarine in a pan on medium heat.
2. Add the chicken and seal the meat.
3. Add in the Onions and Leeks and cook further without colour.
4. Add the flour to make a roux and cook out for a few minutes – slowly add the stock, bit by bit, stirring continuously, until it is fully incorporated and the resulting sauce is smooth. Be very careful not to do this on too high a heat as it can burn very easily.

8. Place pastry lid on pie.
9. Cook in the oven for 18 mins at 180 degrees.
