Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and mushrooms, cooking until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the shredded chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until well-combined. Allow this mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to fit your pie dish, leaving some overhang for a crust.
- Pour the creamy chicken mixture into the pie dish lined with the pastry. Fold the overhang over the filling, sealing it gently. Brush the top with beaten egg.
Baking
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown and flaky.
- Once done, allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm at your next family gathering and enjoy!
Notes
If leeks aren’t available, onions may be used instead. Ensure your chicken is pre-cooked to save time, and be cautious not to overfill the pie.
