- Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic cloves. Slice and wash the leek. Clean the button mushrooms and oyster mushrooms and chop into approx. 1 cm dice.

- Sauté the shallots in the oil, then add the garlic, leek and bacon and cook until the bacon is cooked. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking.
- Transfer to a suitable microwave safe dish, add the herbs and mustard, season with salt and pepper and set to one side.
- Pour the white wine into a saucepan and reduce over a low heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Stir in the flour to make a smooth paste, add the cream and stock and bring to the boil stirring constantly until the sauce is thick and smooth. Pour the sauce into a bowl.
- Cut the pastry so that it covers the dish.
- Preheat your Combi Microwave Oven.
- Mix the mushroom and shallot mixture with the sauce and season to taste. Stir in the diced chicken and transfer to the dish.
- Brush the edge of the dish with egg yolk and lay the pastry on it. Trim off any superfluous pastry and cut a small cross in the top with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape during cooking. Brush with egg yolk.
