Tip
When you put in the chicken, water etc, feel free to add any other vegetables, chopped into <1cm square pieces like the potato. In the photo for this recipe, this pie has a small amount of carrot and broccoli included.
To make this recipe dairy free, omit the parmesan cheese in the crumb and use coconut oil in place of the butter in the shortcrust pastry.
To make this recipe gluten free, choose your favourite gluten free shortcrust pastry, and use stale gluten free bread for the parmesan crumb (and make sure that the corn flour you use in the filling is made from corn and is not wheaten).

Comments
Very delicious, added less water after reading comments, will probably not any water next time.
My whole family loved this. The filling was a little watery, but a little extra cornflour would probably fix that. this is the first time I've ever cooked fennel. I used the whole thing, leaves included, I hope that was the right thing to do - delicious regardless.
I'm glad you liked it!
Really nice and subtle recipe. I happened to make twice as much filling as needed. I must have added to much chicken and vegetables.
I will make it again
All the family loved this pie. The bread crumb topping was delish
