2. When all the water has absorbed, put it into a greased oven dish and spread it out into a thin layer which covers the base of the dish.
3. Thinly slice your chicken and bacon and fry in a large frying pan with some oil, the garlic and thyme.
4. Thinly slice your onion and parsnip add to pan once chicken is golden.
5. Fry for 5 minutes.
6. Cut your broccoli into small florets and add to the pan with the cream and stock.
7. Season with salt and pepper and cook for a further 5 minutes until broccoli softens.
8. Add in your grana padano.
9. Add the casserole to your pie dish.
10. Remove the stuffing from the oven and crumble it over your pie to make a crust and serve.
