1 can (225 g ) button mushrooms, sliced

2. Stir in the chicken fillet and cook until no longer pink.
3. Add in the rest of the ingredients and simmer until chicken is cooked and the sauce slightly thickened.
4. Make crust. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder.

6. Add water a tbsp at a time and continue to mix and blend until the entire mixture is moist and could form a ball. Rest for 10 minutes.
