Dice the onions, celery and carrot. Chop the zucchini and shred the chicken. Take the pastry out to defrost.
If you are making these in the oven, preheat to 200 degrees celsius.

Oven instructions:
Put the shortcrust pastry into the bottom of a greased pie pan.
add the filling and top with puff pastry, pressing down the edges.
Brush with milk and bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees celsius or until golden and cooked through.
Notes
Cooked chicken: if you don't have any and would prefer to cook the chicken as you make these, I recommend using 1 chicken breast. Dice it and pop it into the pan as soon as the onion has softened. Leave it in the pan for all of the cooking.
