Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken and onions to a 11l (2Pt) pie dish and arrange the ham and courgettes on top. Add flour to the pan and cook for a few seconds. Stir in the parsley and gradually add the milk, stirring until sauce thickens. Season. Pour over the chicken mixture, cover with foil and bake for 30 mins until chicken is cooked. Leave to cool.
