If necessary, preheat your slow cooker. Heat a little spray oil in a frying pan set over a high heat. Once hot, add the sausages and fry until browned all over. Meanwhile, add the fennel, lentils, chicken stock, bay leaves (if using) and fennel seeds to the slow cooker. Transfer the browned sausages to the slow cooker. Using the same pan, gently fry the onions until softened. Add the garlic and fry for a minute.

Put the chicken breast in a small pan (it needs to be a small pan so the chicken poaches in the milk). Add the milk, onion and bay leaf. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Divide the pastry into two equal rectangles and carefully roll them out until large enough to cover the top of two individual pie dishes. Place the upturned pie dishes on the pastry and cut around them to make the pie lids.

It’s much faster (and most likely cheaper) to use.
