- Stir in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the diced chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the chopped pumpkin to the pan and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
- Stir in the thawed spinach, lime juice, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, mixing well to combine all flavors.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to fit your pie dish or dishes.
- Line the pie dish with one layer of puff pastry, trimming the excess if necessary.
- Spoon the cooled chicken curry filling into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- Place another sheet of puff pastry over the filling to cover the pie.
- Press the edges of the pastry together to seal, and trim any excess.

- Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. This pie can be enjoyed warm on its own or with a side salad.
Tips:

- Cut the chicken and pumpkin into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Using pre-cooked or leftover chicken can save you time and add an extra depth of flavor to the pie.
- Thaw the frozen spinach thoroughly and squeeze out any excess water to prevent a soggy filling.
- Brush the puff pastry with a beaten egg to get a shiny and golden crust on top.
