4. Take the pastry sheets and cut 12 x 16cm discs and 12 x 11cm discs and lay the large pastry discs on a lined baking sheet. Divide the cooled chicken mixture between them, spreading into an even layer, leaving a border round the edge of each approx. 2cm.
5. Brush the borders with beaten egg, and lay the smaller pastry discs over the filling.
