Chicken and Leek Pie with Puff Pastry
Ingredients:
For this delicious Chicken and Leek Pie, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 400g puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large leeks, thinly sliced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a large round. Place the pastry into a greased pie dish. Trim the edges and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and leeks and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the chicken, white wine, parsley, mustard and stock, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg. Place the remaining puff pastry over the top of the pie and press down lightly to seal. Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top with the remaining egg and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
