Place the chicken pieces into the hot pan now. Fry them until they look golden and cooked. Move the chicken to your large casserole dish.

Add the chopped onions and carrots to the pan. Cook them until they become soft and fragrant. This should take about five to seven minutes.

Sprinkle a little flour over the cooked vegetables now. Pour in the chicken stock and the heavy cream. Stir it well until the sauce starts thickening.

Pour the creamy vegetable sauce over the chicken meat. Stir everything together in the casserole dish gently. Make sure the chicken is fully covered.

Rub the butter into the flour with your fingers. It should look like small, fine breadcrumbs very soon. Stir in the cheese and a little milk.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface. Cut out small circles using a round cutter. Place these dough circles on top of the chicken.

Put the dish into a preheated hot oven. Bake it for about twenty-five to thirty minutes. The topping should be tall and golden brown.
