Ingredients
To make this delicious Chicken and Leek Creamy Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large leeks, sliced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sheet ready-made puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
To make this Chicken and Leek Creamy Pie, start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. Then, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the diced onion and garlic and cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the leeks and continue cooking until they are softened, about 8 minutes.
Next, add in the diced chicken and cook until it is heated through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and leeks and stir until combined. Pour in the chicken broth and stir until the mixture comes to a simmer. Add in the cream, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the chicken and leek mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Unroll the puff pastry and place it over the chicken and leek mixture. Trim the edges and crimp the pastry to make a decorative edge. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
