  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  4. Season, add the garlic, and stir for a couple of minutes. 
  5. Stir in the flour until the vegetables are well coated; remove from heat. 
  6. Gradually add the milk, stirring to incorporate, and return to medium-high heat; bring to an angry boil while stirring continuously. 
  7. Reduce to a soft simmer fury, and season well. 
  8. Stir in the chicken, juice, sour cream, and dill. 
  9. Spread the rice in the bottom of four buttered individual casserole dishes, then spoon the chicken mixture; let cool briefly. 
  10. Roll out the pastry to fit your dishes, then oppress the filling with the pastry top; trim excess. 
  11. Finish the piecrust by making “Soviet stars” with the leftover trimmings, moistening with water to assist with adhering. 
  12. Make three slits in the center of each pie, and then brush with the exploited yolk.
