Cover and cook till the chicken and vegetables are tender. To make the white sauce, melt 3 tbs butter ,add 3 tbs flour stirring till the rawness of the flour is gone.

Spread the puff pastry sheets on it and brush with beaten egg.  Preheat oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes on 220 degree Celsius  or until the pastry is golden .(Please be aware that ovens differ)
