- Turn heat to med/high and stir in the jar of butter chicken sauce..
- Add water to the empty jar and add the Cornflour. Shake until there is no lumps and then add to chicken..
- Keep stirring until almost at pie filling consistency (sauce is like a thick jelly like gravy). Add Chickpeas now if desired..
- Take off heat and set aside to cool..
- Preheat oven according to pastry makers instructions, should be around 180°F Celsius..
- Remove pie tin from fridge and fill with chicken. Gently fold in edges just a bit higher than the filling. Wet the pastry that will stick to pastry lid, then add lid..

- Rest for 5-10mins before removing from tin and serving. Hope you enjoy your yummy pie!.
